이한중 동문의 시인 채희문의 수필,'우리를 슬프게 하는것들'을 읽어 내려가며
문득 우리 다 고등학교 시절 교과서 에서 읽었던 안톤 슈낙의 명수필 '우리를
슬프게 하는것들'이 생각나서  여기에 옮겨봅니다.

이수필은 1981년 교과서 개정시 교과서에서 제외되었다는데 그또한 우리들을
슬프게 하는것이 아닐까요.

안톤 슈나크(Anton Schnack, 1892년 7월 21일 ~ 1973년 9월 26일)는 독일의
시인으로 프레드리히 슈나크의 동생이다.
 
시대의 조류에 초연하여 고아한 정적의 경지를 지켰다. 1919년 〈욕망의 노래〉
로 문단에 데뷔했고, 오랫동안 침묵을 지키다가 1936년 〈조우자로부터의 소식〉
에서 새로운 낭만풍의 시경을 개척하였다.

그 밖에 소설로는 장편 《사랑의 후조》가 있다.  규정

좋은 말씀들에 감사드립니다.

독일어로된 원본수필을 어떤분이 번역했는지 마치한국수필가가
쓴것같은 느낌을 받게 잘번역되었다고 생각합니다.   규정

이분 간단한 일생기를 위키페디아서 여기 전재.

일차대전때, 히트러와같이 참전도 햇고, 패전에 화가 낫든지, 1933 년 문인 88 인과 나치운동에 가담,
 늙은 나이 52 세에 군대에  가담해 이차대전 때,  싸우다가 미군한테 포로가됏다니, 이런 시인도, 별수없이 광기에 몰려가면 엉뚱한 짓도 하게되는 모양.

어디서 읽은 바에의하면 우리를 '슬프게하는 하는 것"을 쓴 다음에, 유명해져서, "우리를 즐겁게 하는 것"을 썻는데,  나치에 가담해서 그랫든지, 큰 환영은 못받엇든 모양.

한국 교과서에서 이분 글 제거한 이유도 이런 사상적인 이유가 아닌가함.

김일성 좋아 자진 월북한사람들 글 노래 남한에서 큰 환영 못받는 이유도 비슷?
 

Anton Schnack (21 July 1892 – 26 September 1973)

Early life

Schnack was born in Rieneck, Lower Franconia, Bavaria. He was the third child of a station commander of the German gendarmerie. His older brother Friedrich Schnack (1888–1977) also became a writer, known for his works on natural history and children's literature.^[2]

Schack followed his father's official postings around Bavaria, to Dettelbach, Kronach and Hammelburg. He attended the Progymnasium in Hammelburg (predecessor of the Frobenius-Gymnasium Hammelburg). He became a journalist, and worked in Halberstadt and Bolzano.^[2]

 First World War poetry

Schnack served in the German Army in the First World War. He was wounded in 1916. He began to publish poetry in Die Aktion in 1915, but only published poetry on war subjects from 1917. His first war poem was "Schwester Maria" ("Sister Maria"), published in Die Aktion in January 1917.^[1] He continued to publish war poems in three collections that he published in 1919, Strophen der Gier ("Verses of greed"), Der Abenteurer ("The adventurer") and Die tausend Gelächter ("The thousand laughs").

His published his most significant collection of war poetry, Tier rang gewaltig mit Tier ("Beast strove mightily with beast") in 1920, in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.^[2] This short work of around 80 pages contains 60 poems based on the sonnet form, on themes of night and death.^[3] In his 1985 book in German war poetry, Patrick Bridgwater, Emeritus Professor of German at the University of Durham, described Schnack's book as "the best single collection produced by a German war poet in 1914-1918",^[4] and one work, "Nächtliche Landschaft", as the "best poem of the war written in German".

His poem "Verdun" was published in 1919 in the first edition of the socialist journal Das Tribunal. He also wrote a remarkable poem about desertion, entitled Der Überlaufer ("The deserter").^[5]

 Later life

After the end of the First World War, he became an editor in Darmstadt. From 1920 to 1925, he was an literary editor and theatre critic for the Neuen Badischen Landes-Zeitung in Mannheim. He married Maria Glöckler on 24 October 1924. He travelled in France, Italy and Dalmatia before returning to Mannheim and then settled in Berchtesgaden. He was one of the 88 writers who pledged their allegiance to Adolf Hitler in October 1933 in a Vow of Most Faithful Allegiance (Gelöbnis treuester Gefolgschaft).^[6] He published lighter popular works in the 1930s and 1940s, including his 1935 work Kleines Lesebuch.^[2] In addition to his poetry, he also wrote some short plays, a few novellas and two novels, Zugvögel der Liebe (1936) and Der finstere Franz (1937). His later works have less literary merit, and are overshadowed by his support for the Nazis.

He moved to Frankfurt am Main in 1937, and joined the Wehrmacht (German Army) in 1944. He was captured by US forces. After the Second World War, he settled to Kahl am Main, where he later died in 1973.^[2]
