sadie999	posted on October 23, 2001 10:22:51 AM Good morning all, Can anyone out there help me with this? I have a book with the following title: Die Jagd nach der "Lowenpranke" by Robb White (The opening quote marks on Lowenpranke are at the bottom of the L rather than the top if that's any help id-ing the language.) Does anyone know what this says? The language? Can't find it on addall or bookfinder. Thanks in advance, Sadie
loosecannon	posted on October 23, 2001 10:30:25 AM It's German. The "Die Jagd nach der" means "For hunt of the". Doesn't make literal sense, but that's the idea. "Lowenpranke" is probably some kind of proper name that has no translation. [ edited by loosecannon on Oct 23, 2001 10:33 AM ]
sadie999	posted on October 23, 2001 10:36:19 AM Loosecannon, Thank you! There's a pic of a ship on the front, and a map decorating the endpapers, so maybe the Lowenpranke is a ship. I appreciate your help - hopefully I'll find it when I try english searches. Peace, Sadie
loosecannon	posted on October 23, 2001 10:40:55 AM You are welcome. Yeah, it probably translates to something like "Hunt for the Lowenpranke".
Eventer	posted on October 23, 2001 10:43:58 AM Hmmm, wonder if it's the German version of "Hunt for the Red October". Or maybe it's a typo & it's supposed to be "Hunt for the Lowenbrau". Now that I could get into.
gs4	posted on October 23, 2001 10:52:24 AM Do you know what kind of ship??? Eventer Hunt for the Lowenbrau". Lowenbrau is a brand name beer. So this could be a hunt for a beerfest, yum yum.
Zazzie	posted on October 23, 2001 11:01:49 AM Probably not the same title in the English version. Robb White writes lots of Sea Stories. Go to abe.com and just do a search for the author...maybe youcan figure out which English title it might be
