Frank Denius was not yet twenty-one when he fought his way across Europe and was awarded four Silver Stars, a Presidential Unit Citation, and two Purple Hearts. On the Way describes Denius's formative experiences during World War II in gripping detail and will cause any reader to wonder how he or she might have held up under similar pressure. The powerful opening chapters are followed by a detailed account of Denius's life and career after the war, assembled into a first-person memoir from conversations between Denius and Thomas Hatfield, and published by the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. Discharged from the army in October 1945, Denius enrolled at the University of Texas within a week. He is a lifelong supporter of the university: as part of the Texas Exes, as a donor to numerous academic programs, and as a fan of Longhorn football. Former UT football coach Mack Brown liked to say, "Frank has been to more practices than I have." Denius graduated from the University of Texas School of Law and joined one of Austin's leading law firms in the late 1940s. Denius recounts how Texas operated in Lyndon Johnson's prime, observes power plays in the Texas energy industry, and describes his role in building a regional university into a global leader.

Es gilt als gesichert, daß die aus der Antike überlieferten Auffassungen vom richtigen und schönen literarischen Übersetzen an der Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert von Grund auf in Frage gestellt wurden und so Platz für neue entstand. Dieser epochale Wandel wird hier erstmals aus internationaler Sicht untersucht. Erkennbar werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der drei damals besonders wichtigen nationalen Traditionen - der französischen, britischen und deutschen. Auf mehreren Begriffsfeldern werden Übereinstimmungen zwischen den Ländern beziehungsweise Übernahmen aus einer Landestradition in eine andere dargestelt."--Page 4 of cover.
