- Annotation
- Criticizes Annemarie Horschitz s embellished and hyperbolic 1930 German translation of A Farewell to Arms. Dick cites several passages in which Horschitz departs from Hemingway s intentionally understated language regarding war, opting instead for graphic and romantic language. Briefly analyzes the translation in the context of the German literary tradition to explain Horschitz s stylistic decisions, which ultimately undercut the novel s critique of elaborate rhetoric and detract from its antiwar message.
