The Cultural Reception of The Tragedy of Man, Translated into German by Lajos Dóczi

Summary/Abstract: Lajos Dóczi (1845–1919) was a writer, poet and translator, journalist and a bilingual diplomat of Jewish origin. The Hungarian poetic drama, The Tragedy of Man, became known in German culture thanks to his translation. His German translation of the Hungarian drama was published several times and it was used for staging the drama in Hamburg, Wien, Berlin and Zürich. The similarities between the two works (Faust by Goethe and The Tragedy of Man by Imre Madách) make possible the continuous comparing of the two works in the German reception of the Hungarian drama. The influence of Faust was the theme of debate about the originality of Hungarian drama as well as the role of translation in creating similarities.
