Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language by Eva Hoffman
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF .AZW reader, 2.1 Mb
Overview: This remarkable book is Eva Hoffman’s personal story of her experiences as an emigre who loses and remakes her identity in a new land and translates her sense of self into a new culture and a different language.
The condition of exile is an exaggeration of the process of change and loss that many people experience as they grow and mature, leaving behind the innocence of childhood. Eva Hoffman spent her early years in Cracow, among family friends who, like her parents, had escaped the Holocaust and were skeptical of the newly imposed Communist state. Hoffman’s parents managed to immigrate to Canada in the 1950s, where Eva was old enough to feel like a stranger–bland food, a quieter life, and schoolmates who hardly knew where Poland was. Still, there were neighbors who knew something of Old World ways, and a piano teacher who was classically Middle European in his neurotic enthusiasm for music.
