The Beast and the Translator
In 2011, Olivier Mannoni, translator of Freud, Kafka, and Zweig, took on a delicate mission: re-translating Mein Kampf in french. This marked the beginning of a monumental task that would last nearly ten years. Confronting this cursed text did not leave him unscathed, but his objective was stronger: to exorcise a poisoned language whose malevolent aura continues to contaminate our time
