This book is devoted to the study of the bilingual "parallel poems"
of Ludwig Strauss (Aachen 1892 Jerusalem 1953) created between 1934
and 1952 in Palestine/Israel and which exist in two variants, a
Hebrew and a German version, one of which is the original and the
other a self-translation. The aim of this study is to compare the
versions and their interpretation based on Strauss's theoretical
essays on poetry and translation, his political writings and works
of literary criticism. Special attention is paid to Strauss's
concept (linked with the idea of messianic redemption) of poetry as
a "fore-image" of a future true community of men and as "the
earthly expression of the Absolute" directed at interpreting divine
revelation and its "translation" into human language. In examining
Strauss's experiments with self-translation, by which he aimed at
establishing a dialogue between languages, and between people and
nations, this study considers the two processes of translation:
from divine speech into human language and from one human language
into another.
