German > English: Translation of Harald Evers´ Fantasy Novel (Die Höhlenwelt-Saga - Vol. 1 - Die Bruderschaft von Yoor), 861 pages, 212000 words
Harald Evers´ "Die Höhlenwelt-Saga" is a eight volumes fantasy epos and was published in the late 90´s under Heyne Verlag German. Harald Evers died in 2006. We acquired the licenses and are planning to translate it into English. Evers published several fantasy novels and with "Die Höhlenwelt-Saga", his opus magnum, Evers earned the name "The German Tolkien".
This project is to translate Vol. 1 into English: 861 pages, 212000 words.
Project will be funded via a crowd funding campaign. Assuming a successful funding of Vol. 1, selected translator will be given the opportunity to translate Vol. 2 - 8 with a total of ~1.5M words.
Example of text:
1 Leandra
Im Osten braute sich ein Gewitter zusammen. Schwer hingen die dunklen Wolken zwischen den riesigen Felspfeilern, die im Vordergrund des Westakranischen Gebirges aufragten. Die Ränder der Wolken hatten sich gelbweiß verfärbt, Blitze zuckten in ihrem Inneren umher – wie eine nachdrückliche Warnung, Leandra solle sich rasch einen Unterschlupf suchen. Sie runzelte die Stirn.
