Tiếp nhận W. G. Sebald ở Việt Nam

Abstract

W.G. Sebald (1944 - 2001) is widely regarded as one of the most prominent writers in world literature of the late 20th century. His works have been received with broad and enthusiastic acclaim in numerous countries over several decades. In Vietnam specifically, Sebald's work truly commenced in 2019 with the translation and publication of Die Ausgewanderten (The Emigrants) under the Vietnamese title Ky uc lac loai. Aiming to delineate the trajectory of Sebald's works reaching the Vietnamese readership, the article employed historical and comparative methodologies to examine their reception by the public through translation, publication research, and criticism. The reality of this reception in Vietnam indicates that the works of this German writer have not yet garnered attention commensurate with their stature, therefore, further initiatives are needed to ensure Sebald receives wider recognition.
