    Niet alleen om de rubber
    (2016-09-01) Sklenářová, Sylva; Engelbrecht, Wilken
      Czechoslovakia was a new state that emerged in 1918. It combined the former Kingdom of the Bohemian Crown and former Felvidék – Upper-Hungary. In the period between the two World Wars, and especially after 1930 when the Czechoslovak shoe concern Baťa started its presence in Dutch East-Indies, a couple of novels by Dutch writers has been translated into Czech. Most of them were written by Madelon Székely-Lulofs and Johan Fabricius, the latter even visited Czechoslovakia in 1934. These novels and practical travel stories mainly by Czech entrepreneurs formed the picture of Dutch EastIndies in the mind of Czechoslovak people. Because of a lack of Dutch technic graduates, Dutch authorities recruited engineers from elsewhere, especially from Central Europe. Thus, between the beginning of the 20th century and the end of Dutch East-Indies (1949) some 80 to 100 Czechoslovaks were living in the colony in 1949. Most of them didn’t receive Dutch nationality. In 1939, they were considered to be citizens of the so-called Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. When the Japanese occupied the colony in 1941, the Protectorate government tried to repatriate its citizens and asked Japanese authorities to spare Czechs. The Japanese treated them then as “non-belligerent enemies”. Most Czechs didn’t accept the offer to stay outside the concentration camps and either entered the camps as did their Dutch colleagues, or even participated in the very little and weak resistance against the Japanese. A very special Czech presence was the factory PT Sepatu Bata built by the Czechoslovak concern Baťa in 1939 that was interested in Indonesian rubber and saw also possibilities to enter the East-Indian market.

    Rudolf J. Vonka, vertaler of verminker?
    (2023-10-30) Engelbrecht, Wilken
    Rudolf J. Vonka (1877–1964) was one of the most important Czech translators of Dutch literature in the interwar period. He is best known as the translator of novels by the then internationally renowned Flemish writer Felix Timmermans. His translations were very successful, received positive reviews and were reprinted, sometimes long after the Second World War. However, the Dutch translator and netherlandist Olga Krijtová (1931–2013) discovered that Vonka had largely adapted the translated texts, which is a serious offence according to Czech translatological standards. The contribution discusses Vonka’s position and work as a translator and possible motives for his approach. Finally, it shows why Vonka can after all be considered an important contributor to the spread of Dutchlanguage literature in the Czech Republic.
