Description
I. In 1935, only three years after the novel first appeared in the United States, the publisher Ernst Rowohlt in Berlin brought out a German translation of Light in August. Rowohlt had been alerted to Faulkner by his (illegitimate) son Heinrich Maria Ledig, an enthusiastic reader of American fiction. Why the publisher chose Light in August as his first Faulkner title is not clear; as it is, the novel has remained Faulkner's most widely read work in Germany to this day. Its popularity with German readers was confirmed in 2008 when the Rowohlt publishing house decided to bring out a new translation of the novel, the only new translation of a major work by Faulkner to appear since the early 1970s.
