GEORGE STEINER – A LIFE
GEORGE STEINER – A LIFE

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper entitled „George Steiner- A life” we aim to draw the profile of a complex personality, George Steiner, American writer, with French origins, pointing out just some few important biographical and bibliographical aspects. The presentation will not be exhaustive, due to the type of scientific paper considered. Obviously, this presentation will not refer to George Steiner as a man, as a teacher, as a translator, as a linguist, as a literary critic, but the ideas will refer tangentially to some dominant aspects, and sometimes they will refer to some papers or some perceptions and concepts launched by the author. We will focus though on Steiner the translator. A picture from an article about George Steiner published at the beginning of 2020, shortly after his demise, by „Agerpres.ro”, illustrates the senior in a room surrounded by books, this aspect demonstrating the passion of his life, to which he owes the erudition.
