Bonsels - Waldemar Bonsels

Japanese: ボンゼルス - ぼんぜるす(英語表記)Waldemar Bonsels
Bonsels - Waldemar Bonsels

German author and poet. Born the son of a doctor, he traveled widely around the world, including India, Egypt, and South America, and left behind an excellent travelogue, "Indian Voyage" (1917), which combines detailed observation of nature with a delicate poetic sensibility. As a poet, he belonged to the neo-romantic school, and his descriptions of nature show a tendency toward pantheism. His story of anthropomorphizing animals, "The Adventures of Maya the Bee" (1912), gained fame as a work of children's literature and has been translated into 28 languages. Another notable work is "The People of Heaven" (1915).

ドイツの作家、詩人。医者の息子として生まれる。インド、エジプト、南アメリカなど広く世界を歩き、精細な自然観察と繊細な詩人的感性とによって優れた紀行文『インド紀行』(1917)を残した。詩人としては新ロマン派の系統に属し、その自然描写には汎神論(はんしんろん)的な傾向がうかがえる。動物を擬人化した物語『蜜蜂(みつばち)マーヤの冒険』(1912)は児童文学作品として名声を博し、28か国語に翻訳された。そのほかに注目すべき作品として『天国の民』(1915)がある。
