Die Übersetzer des kleinen Wolfs


(in alfabetischer Reihenfolge)


Afrikaans

Hans Huyssen, Stellenbosch, South Africa

translator

I have worked as a baroque cellist, composer and conductor in South Africa and Germany. I'm the co-founder and musical director of the ensemble Così facciamo in Munich and the Cape Consort in Cape Town. In South Africa I'm strongly committed to a comprehensively informed performance practice of early music - including historical forms of native African music on traditional instruments. In order to promote an intercultural musical dialogue I run the CD label mucavi records. I graduated with an interdisciplinary thesis on complexity and music and teaches music history at the University of Cape Town.

Anglo-Saxon (Old English)

Adam A Brunn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Great Britain

translator

I was born in 1989 in Birmingham, England and studied my bachelor degree in Classical Civilization and Literature with Philosophy at the University of Birmingham before moving Northwards. I am deeply interested in ancient languages and linguistics, with seven years experience of Classical Latin and two in Anglo-Saxon. I am currently translating various works into Anglo-Saxon with the intention of making the language more accessible. I enjoy travel, reading, playing music and graphic design in my spare time.

Armenian

Tata Mkrtchyan, Berlin, Germany

Hey, I'm Tata. I'm from Armenia, but I live in Berlin now. I'm artist/graphic designer with a huge interest in music and movies. Beside all that which is a big part of my life I like to watch how the nature moves and visually collect the colours and forms. Enjoy the book and never forget about your inner child.

Bariba / Baatonum

Saka Mora, Bayreuth, Germany

Basque

Cristina Miguel Narro, Bilbao, Spain

translator

Hi everyone!! I'm Cristina, a 27 year-old girl from Bilbao, Basque Country. I've always enjoyed studying different languages and learning from different cultures. Probably, these are the most important reasons why I decided to start travelling some years ago and I haven't stopped yet. Nowadays I live in Valparaíso, Chile. I've been living here for three years. I have many hobbies such as reading, writing, cooking... but one of my passions is taking care of the environment and preserve nature. However, I studied Civil Engineering, so the next thing I would like to do is continue my studies to specialize myself in the environmental area. In the meanwhile, I'll try to learn at least a bit of German, because who knows what will be the next translation??

Bavarian

Elisabeth Winterholler, Gmund, Germany

translator

Born in 1976, I grew up on a small farm in Upper Bavaria. I have been working in the banking administration but am currently on the lookout for other professional venues that would fit my creative talents.
Cats have always been my great love. Another passion of mine is photographing and creating postcards and photobooks. Moreover I like soccer, musicals and good cabaret, and I like travelling (favorite countries: New Zealand and Canada). Nontheless, I'm still a Bavarian with heart and soul. Being in the open countryside gives me fresh energy. Preserving the environment and the Bavarian dialect is a matter close to my heart. I like writing poems - preferably, of course, in Bavarian!

Danish

Michael Schultz, Lübeck, Germany

Dutch

Jonathan van den Berg, Santiago, Chile

translator

Both of my parents are Dutch and I was born in Rotterdam. I studied Mechanical Engineering at Delft University of Technology and performed my graduation project in Offshore Engineering from Bilbao in The Basque Country. In Bilbao I got to know Paul, the brain of the project. After graduation, I continued for another year in Spain. The subsequent year I studied at a bible school in Pichilemu, Chile. Next, I went back for two years to the Netherlands where I worked for an international shipyard. Finally, God determined my final destiny in Chile. From now (november 1st, 2015) it is only 6 weeks until getting married with Isadora my Chilean girlfriend.
Of course, I wanted to support the Little Wolf project by translating the book into Dutch, a language spoken by over 16 million people. Maybe one day one of my future children can read the Spanish-Dutch version of the Little Wolf.

English

Pete Savill, Lübeck, Germany

Esperanto

François Lo Jacomo, Paris, France

translator

Of French nationality and having always lived in Paris, I learned Esperanto at age 16 and it has changed my life profoundly: the majority of travels I have done to this date have been related to Esperanto, and Esperanto has incited me to study linguistics, which I pursued up to doctoral level. It is through Esperanto that I met the mother of my children (my children are polyglots: French, English, Croatian, Esperanto, Dutch, my daughter: Spanish), and also how I met my current partner. Professionally, I became a teacher in mathematics again in 2013 after a long break during which I worked on data processing, and I have a particular interest in the Maths Olympiads, a competition for high school students, with the association Animath. It is through the president of Animath that I met Ulrich and his project, and immediately accepted to take part.

Born in Lüdenscheid, Germany, I studied African and German linguistics and phonetics at Marburg University.

Thus, I undertook extensive field research trips to Northern Nigeria to collect linguistic data for my PhD thesis on Hausa dialects. Becoming more and more fascinated by the richness of the Hausa language and the culture of the Hausa people I spent about five years in the country. Since 2012, I am working as Hausa lecturer at University of Bayreuth. Whenever time allows, I travel, preferably to Africa or to the sea. I like playing cards, cooking dishes from all over the world for my wife and my friends, or support my favorite football club Borussia Dortmund.

Participating in this project was full of fun and an exciting experience for me. By sharing a story with people all around the world, I can realize where I live, where I am. It's the Earth.

I'm currently living in South Korea. Right now I'm spending my holiday in a Buddhist temple in the woods. It's like food for my soul, getting some spiritual energy and recovering my internal composure. I have a job for a living and another 'secret' job which is to lead and meditate with people who are new to it. Doing it together is easier than doing it alone.
