The Quiet Art of Translation: An Exhibition that Brings Language to Life
This exhibition in Amberg is dedicated to the often invisible work of translators. Between manuscript and bookshelf, a literary experience is created here: voices, styles, and worldviews are reborn across language borders.
Insights into Language Art and Workshop
If you love the atmosphere of readings, you will find its quiet sister here: the workshop of translation. Sketches, drafts, notes, variants – they showcase narratives in development and the precise art of language that makes world literature possible in German.
From Genre to Genre: Poetics of Transference
Whether novel, poem, play text, or essay – each genre demands different decisions. Rhythm, tone, cultural allusions: the exhibition makes visible how literary quality arises in the target text and why translations shape literary discourse.
Literary History in the Archive
The presentation shows why drafts and posthumous works are indispensable for research and criticism. They document author encounters in a broader sense: the encounter between the original voice and the voice of the translator.
Service and Visitor Experience
Open Tue–Fri 9am–5pm, Sun 2pm–5pm. A quiet, focused place for deep reading, note-taking, and discussions about style, meaning, and aesthetic choice.
Conclusion: Those who want to not just read literature, but understand it, will experience the grammar of the invisible here. Precision, sound, context – see how language art is created and reach for the next book with fresh eyes.
