>Has anyone seen the volume _The Storm of Steel_, trans Paddy >Griffith (London: Constable, 1994)? Well done? In print? (It's listed >in John King's on-line bibliography on his webpage.) > Yes. In print. I even have a copy - only I lent to a friend of mine and haven't got it back yet :-( It's basically a reprint of the Basil Creighton translation form the 1920s. It's nicely done in hardback with quite a funky cover. Trouble is that Paddy Griffith's introduction isn't up to much. He's a military historian of some renown and has written quite a lot on the First World War. When I bought it in Oxford from Blackwell's it was in the Military History section and not under Literature in Translation. Odd, I thought. I think Griffith must have read Gerhard Loose's Twaynes World Authors book on J rather quickly and without paying an awful lot of attention as he refers to such things as J's novel "The Psychonaut". Something of a novelty to me! But it is also the title of a chapter in Loose's book which deals with "Annäherungen" and "Besuch auf Goldenheim" and the like. John.
