Das Öde Haus

Das Öde Haus (The Bleak House) is a novella around 80 pages long, and according to a comment at Talk:Bleak House appears to have been published in conjunction with Der Sandmann. As such, it would be one of the Nachstücke mentioned in the main article. Was it ever published separately? Have there been any translations of this work into English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.177.27.31 (talk • contribs) 3 February 2006

Narrative summary

I have redrafted the narrative summary, and taken the liberty of removing the "cleanup" tag.Mooncow 00:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This seems far to detailed to be a plot summary and serves more as a retelling of the story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.165.193 (talk) 17:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interpretations

A "cleanup" tag was added by Donama in May 2006. I don't currently have time to redraft this section. Mooncow 00:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lothar-lothario

in both the german versions i have read (Reclam and Suhrkamp) Nathanael's friend and Clara's brother is named Lothar, not Lothario. is this a common anglicization (Lothario is hardly a common name)? or the name in the most common translation? Jieagles 02:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A good point. Lothar is the name in the original German. Lothario is a recognised name in English, though not a common one, while Lothar is not. Lothario is used by some translations, although the one referenced in this article uses Lothaire. As we are discussing the original, not a particular translation, I agree with Pfahlstrom that the original German names are best, and have changed Lothario to Lothar throughout.

Is Superman's adversary Lex Lothar a reference to Lothar? 79.134.37.83 (talk) 12:56, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coppola, eye cavities?

I don't think "coppola" has anything to do with "eye cavities", could someone help find a source for this relation or edit it out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.144.16.127 (talk) 10:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
