RE: [Cz-L] Eminescu bookshop

A propos Eminescu,
 
This is just an excuse to write something more positive about the Rumanian
period in Cernauti we were born into. It is true that at home we were educated
to be "Altoesterreicher" but I can hardly deny the importance and impact
Rumanian culture had on me. German was our maternal language - that previous
even to our birth language that infiltrated mind and body, Lacan called it lalangue.
But Rumanian came immediately after and in a certain way supplemented, at least in my
case what should have been a complete rounded up by school and parents language.
I think most of us were both positively and negatively influenced by this double
languistery - it took away a perfect natural growing into one single language
but gave us the benefit of at least 2 total different language structures to
possess. Of course later came Russian and other languages (and many of us had
at least some Idish very early with their mother's milk)- but grammar and most other
knowledge came through Rumanian.
 
And in a certain way I still might read Eminescu with nearly the same pleasure
I enjoy Heine. Though I must confess to very rarely read one of them, and moderns like
Celan causing me more headache than pleasure.
 
 
Berti.
