A Gift from Hồ Chí Minh: The Story of Franz and Irene Faber and Das Mädchen Kiều
Inspired by Hồ Chí Minh’s gift of Truyện Kiều, Franz and Irene Faber spent seven years translating Nguyễn Du’s epic into German. Their Das Mädchen Kiều became a milestone of Vietnamese-German literary exchange, first published in East Germany in 1964 and recently reissued in a bilingual edition.
