metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article is dedicated to the Russian translations of the Dutch novel Max Havelaar
  or the coffee auctions of the Nederlandsche Handelmaatschappy (1860) by Eduard
  Douwes Dekker (1820–1887), who published his work under the pseudonym Multatuli.
  Max Havelaar is one of the best known and most translated works of Dutch
  literature. There are six complete Russian translations published between 1916 and
  1959, which have not yet been analyzed. The authors hypothesize that German is the
  intermediate language in the Dutch-Russian literary transfer as research has shown
  that German often served as an intermediate language for translations into Scandinavian
  and Slavic languages during this period. In the specific case of Max Havelaar,
  the German translation by Wilhelm Spohr, who moved in circles of anarchists, served
  as an intermediate text. The authors also investigated whether the Russian translators
  used the English translation of 1868, but this was not the case. In the first part of this
  article, the biographies of the Russian translators, authors of forewords and editors who
  worked on the Russian translations are examined. In the second part, excerpts from the
  novel are compared with the translations to analyze the relationship between the texts.
  The results of the research confirm that the first Russian translations were based on
  Karl Mischke’s German translation, which had appeared almost simultaneously with
  Spohr’s. Traces of this translation can also be found in later texts. To the authors’ knowledge,
  it has not been shown before that Mischke’s translation and not Spohr’s was used
  as an intermediate text.
