Die ersten dieser Worte führen zu der – dieses Mal bedeutsamen – Veranlassung des Traumes. Ich hatte meiner Frau mehrere Bände eines bekannten Autors mitgebracht, mit dem mein Bruder befreundet ist, und der, wie ich erfahren habe, aus demselben Orte stammt wie ich (J. J. David ). Eines Abends sprach sie mit mir über den tiefen Eindruck, den ihr die ergreifend traurige Geschichte eines verkommenen Talentes in einer der David schen Novellen gemacht hatte, und unsere Unterhaltung wendete sich darauf den Spuren von Begabung zu, die wir an unseren eigenen Kindern wahrnehmen. Unter der Herrschaft des eben Gelesenen äußerte sie eine Besorgnis, die sich auf die Kinder bezog, und ich tröstete sie mit der Bemerkung, daß gerade solche Gefahren durch die Erziehung abgewendet werden können. In der Nacht ging mein Gedankengang weiter, nahm die Besorgnisse meiner Frau auf und verwob allerlei anderes damit. Eine Äußerung, die der Dichter gegen meinen Bruder in bezug auf das Heiraten getan hatte, zeigte meinen Gedanken einen Nebenweg, der zur Darstellung im Traume führen konnte. Dieser Weg leitete nach Breslau, wohin eine uns sehr befreundete Dame geheiratet hatte. Für die Besorgnis, am Weibe zu grunde zu gehen, die den Kern meiner Traumgedanken bildete, fand ich in Breslau die Exempel Lasker und Lassalle auf, die mir gleichzeitig die beiden Arten dieser Beeinflussung zum Unheil darzustellen gestatteten (106) . Das »Cherchez la femme«, in dem sich diese Gedanken zusammenfassen lassen, bringt mich in anderem Sinne auf meinen noch unverheirateten Bruder, der Alexander heißt. Nun merke ich, daß Alex , wie wir den Namen abkürzen, fast wie eine Umstellung von Lasker klingt, und daß dieses Moment mitgewirkt haben muß, meinen Gedanken die Umwegrichtung über Breslau mitzuteilen.\n\nDie Spielerei mit Namen und Silben, die ich hier treibe, enthält aber noch einen weiteren Sinn. Sie vertritt den Wunsch eines glücklichen Familienlebens für meinen Bruder, und zwar auf folgendem Wege. In dem Künstlerroman L’oeuvre , der meinen Traumgedanken inhaltlich nahe liegen mußte, hat der Dichter bekanntlich sich selbst und sein eigenes Familienglück episodisch mitgeschildert und tritt darin unter dem Namen Sandoz auf. Wahrscheinlich hat er bei der Namensverwandlung folgenden Weg eingeschlagen. Zola gibt umgekehrt (wie die Kinder so gern zu tun pflegen) Aloz . Das war ihm wohl noch zu unverhüllt; darum ersetzte sich ihm die Silbe Al , die auch den Namen Ale xander einleitet, durch die dritte Silbe desselben Namens sand , und so kam Sandoz zu stande. So ähnlich entstand also auch mein Autodidasker .", "source_id": "project-gutenberg-40739", "translation_type": "original_language" }, { "language": "en", "text": "Now Autodidasker is easily divided into Autor, Autodidakt, and Lasker, with which the name Lassalle is associated. The first of these words lead to the occasion of the dream, which was significant this time. I had brought my wife several volumes by a well-known author who is a friend of my brother and who, as I have learned, comes from the same town as I do (J. J. David). One evening she spoke to me about the profound impression made upon her by the movingly sad story of a ruined talent in one of David's novellas, and our conversation then turned to the signs of giftedness we perceive in our own children. Under the influence of what she had just read, she expressed a concern relating to the children, and I comforted her with the observation that precisely such dangers could be averted by education. During the night my train of thought continued, took up my wife's concerns, and interwove all sorts of other things with them. A remark the writer had made to my brother concerning marriage showed my thoughts a side path that could lead to representation in the dream. This path led to Breslau, where a lady who was a very close friend of ours had married. For the concern about being ruined by a woman, which formed the core of my dream-thoughts, I found in Breslau the examples of Lasker and Lassalle, which at the same time allowed me to represent the two ways in which this influence could lead to disaster (106). The “Cherchez la femme” in which these thoughts can be summarized leads me, in another sense, to my still unmarried brother, whose name is Alexander. I now notice that Alex, as we abbreviate the name, sounds almost like a rearrangement of Lasker, and that this factor must have helped to send my thoughts on their detour through Breslau.\n\nThe play with names and syllables in which I am engaging here contains a further meaning, however. It represents the wish for a happy family life for my brother, by the following route. In the artist's novel L’oeuvre, which in subject matter must have lain close to my dream-thoughts, the writer, as is well known, also portrayed himself and his own domestic happiness in an episode, appearing under the name Sandoz. He probably arrived at the altered name by the following route. Zola reversed, as children are so fond of doing, gives Aloz. That was probably still too transparent for him; he therefore replaced the syllable Al, which also begins the name Alexander, with the third syllable of the same name, sand, and thus Sandoz came into being. My Autodidasker arose in much the same way.", "translator": "Codex gpt-5.6-sol", "edition": "Prokopton42 non-official AI translation, 2026-09-14", "source_id": "prokopton42-codex-translation:gpt-5.6-sol:corpus-passage-translation-v1", "translation_type": "ai_generated_translation", "official_status": "non_official", "generation_model": "gpt-5.6-sol" }, { "language": "fr", "text": "Or Autodidasker se décompose aisément en Autor, Autodidakt et Lasker, auquel se rattache le nom Lassalle. Les premiers de ces mots conduisent à l’occasion, significative cette fois, du rêve. J’avais apporté à ma femme plusieurs volumes d’un auteur connu, ami de mon frère et qui, comme je l’avais appris, était originaire du même endroit que moi (J. J. David). Un soir, elle me parla de la profonde impression que lui avait faite, dans l’une des nouvelles de David, l’histoire poignante et triste d’un talent qui avait mal tourné, puis notre conversation se porta sur les marques de dons que nous percevions chez nos propres enfants. Sous l’empire de ce qu’elle venait de lire, elle exprima une inquiétude relative aux enfants, et je la consolai en observant que l’éducation peut précisément écarter de tels dangers. Pendant la nuit, le cours de mes pensées se poursuivit, reprit les inquiétudes de ma femme et y mêla toutes sortes d’autres choses. Une remarque que l’écrivain avait faite à mon frère au sujet du mariage indiqua à mes pensées une voie latérale susceptible de mener à la représentation dans le rêve. Cette voie conduisait à Breslau, où une dame avec laquelle nous étions très liés s’était mariée. Pour l’inquiétude de se perdre à cause d’une femme, qui formait le noyau de mes pensées du rêve, je trouvai à Breslau les exemples de Lasker et de Lassalle, lesquels me permettaient en même temps de représenter les deux formes de cette influence funeste (106). Le « Cherchez la femme », dans lequel ces pensées peuvent se résumer, me conduit en un autre sens à mon frère encore célibataire, qui se nomme Alexander. Je remarque maintenant qu’Alex, comme nous abrégeons son nom, résonne presque comme une permutation de Lasker, et que ce facteur a dû contribuer à imprimer à mes pensées le détour par Breslau.\n\nMais le jeu auquel je me livre ici avec les noms et les syllabes contient encore un autre sens. Il représente le souhait d’une vie familiale heureuse pour mon frère, et cela de la manière suivante. Dans le roman d’artiste L’œuvre, dont le contenu devait être proche de mes pensées du rêve, le romancier s’est, comme on le sait, dépeint lui-même épisodiquement avec son propre bonheur familial et y apparaît sous le nom de Sandoz. Pour transformer son nom, il a probablement suivi la voie suivante. Zola donne, à l’envers, comme les enfants aiment tant à le faire, Aloz. Cela lui était sans doute encore trop transparent. C’est pourquoi la syllabe Al, qui commence également le nom Alexander, fut remplacée par la troisième syllabe du même nom, sand, et c’est ainsi que Sandoz vit le jour. Mon Autodidasker est donc né d’une manière analogue.", "translator": "Codex gpt-5.6-sol", "edition": "Prokopton42 non-official AI translation, 2026-09-14", "source_id": "prokopton42-codex-translation:gpt-5.6-sol:corpus-passage-translation-v1", "translation_type": "ai_generated_translation", "official_status": "non_official", "generation_model": "gpt-5.6-sol" } ], "content_checksum": "24b0255bf58afa7b725b2b9b8e525bfb3a987ac65a6aa2582c63e1f2b8be5414" }
