  TRANS Nr. 15: Felix Tweraser (Utah State University in Logan): Heimweh as Creative Impetus: Friedrich Torberg's ...
Torberg's route from Austria to the America was hardly direct: after forced flight from Vienna and Prague, a stint in the French military, and a narrow escape after the fall of France, Torberg was one of the lucky few émigrés, who, sponsored by a Hollywood studio, was allowed to enter the country.
Torberg, particularly during his exile in Southern California in the last years of the war, presented in much of his creative work both the ambivalence felt by those who had successfully escaped the terror and the need to express solidarity with those who were not as fortunate.
Torberg's early career as a writer and journalist in Vienna and Prague during the interwar years can be seen as a not uncommon path for those who looked with some longing at the best aspects of the monarchy, particularly those transnational tendencies that had succumbed to the centrifugal forces of nationalist aspirations.

 Friedrich Torberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Torberg (September 16, 1908 - November 10, 1979) is the pen-name of Friedrich Kantor-Berg, an Austrian writer.
He worked as a critic and journalist in Vienna and Prague until 1938, when his Jewish heritage compelled him to emigrate to France and, later, to the United States, where he worked as a scriptwriter in Hollywood and New York.
Torberg is known best for his satirical writings in fiction and nonfiction, as well as his translations into German of the stories of Ephraim Kishon, which remain the standard German language version of Kishon's work.

 New England Review: Friedrich Torberg: An introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Fredrich Torberg (1908-1979) was very much a part of the Prague and Viennese literary cafe scenes in the 1920s and 1930s.
Torberg went to Zurich, then to Paris in 19 38, where he remained in close association with many of the same people he knew from Prague and Vienna, including Georg Kaiser and Max Reinhardt.
Torberg's book Die Tante Jolesch (Munich, 1975) is a collection of coffeehouse anecdotes that made him famous again and he remains best known today as a Roaring Twenties-Thirties aesthete and high-living Cafe Literat.

From the late sixties on Ephraim Kishon's books were translated into German, by an Austrian writer named Friedrich Torberg.
This was a marriage made in heaven, since Torberg's renderings wonderfully preserved the light ironical Jewish style in a language that for a long time had lost touch with this kind of humour.
Friedrich Torberg died in 1979, but by then Kishon had mastered the language well enough to write in German himself.

Who’d have thought this dude would have devoted enough followers to have his own entry — and a very good one at that.
Torberg’s take on the time issue — and this was written in 1959 — is this:
This isn’t to say that there are no literary types, intellectuals, or people interested in artistic issues or matters of the mind in Vienna any more.

 Chekhov story: what's Crown Department? (Literature / Poetry)
Of the German translations of his books by Friedrich Torberg, the Israeli author Ephraim Kishon said that they sound exactly as if he himself has written them originally in German.
By the way this Israeli author is very fluent in German too among other things and he knows what he is talking about.
No translator can hope to get a better praise for his labors and Friedrich Torberg got it for his translation from the English version of the Hebrew original.

is one of only two works that Herzmanovsky published in his lifetime, both in the 1920s, but the noted Austrian writer Friedrich Torberg reintroduced him to the reading public in the late 1950s by editing his collected works in four volumes.
