Recommended Posts

Hi friends! 

So I have a friend that lived in Germany for a few years and loves it. For his birthday I wanted to get him the cosmere books in german....only problem is ...I don't read german so I'm not sure which books are which.

Anyone mind helping me out by translating which books are which so I can order them =)

The ones I want to get are

Mistborn Trilogy

Stormlight Archive

Elantris

Warbreaker

I live in Germany, so... I should be able to help out ;)

Mistborn: It might be hard to get the originial editions, because they are out of print. But there'll be new editions by another publisher, starting in march
Era 1:
1. Kinder des Nebels
2. Krieger des Feuers
3. Herrscher des Lichts
Era 2:
1. Jäger der Macht
2. Schatten über Elantel (already published by the new publisher)
3. Bänder der Trauer (already published by the new publisher)

Elantris: the title stays the same

Warbreaker: Sturmklänge

Stormlight Archive: all books were split in two.
1.1: Der Weg der Könige
1.2: Der Pfad der Winde
2.1: Die Worte des Lichts
2.2: Die Stürme des Zorns

Oathbringer hasn't been released in German yet.

 

And with translating the title... don't try. In most cases it wouldn't help ;)

The Way of Kings: The Way of Kings / The Path of the Winds

@Herowannabe
Translation of titles in Germany is...complicated. Sometimes they just take the original English title and stick with that. Sometimes they translate it. Or they make something up. 
That's one reason why I prefer reading in English, so they can't ruin the book because of a bad translation.
