Egon Christian Simundt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Egon Christian Simundt (born August 17, 1892 in Berlin ; † May 3, 1962 in Regensburg ) was a German writer and translator who also worked under the pseudonyms "Christian Sundsval" and "Egon Christian Mund".

Life

Egon Christian Simundt was the son of Guido Simundt and Bertha Thomsen. The archives in the Regensburg State Library show that he served as a soldier in the First World War from the end of 1914 and was later a prisoner of war until 1920. He studied in Munich, Innsbruck a. Gain. He was married to the actress and reciter Anna Maria Simundt , née Hörl.

Simundt published several works. His novel Sieger von Morgen was published by Paul List from November 1936 to 1944 in nine editions. In 1937 he was expelled from the Reichsschrifttumskammer and was banned from publishing. The ban on the profession with the threat of punishment was justified because of his descent, because his paternal grandparents were Jews. His wife was therefore also banned from working. His translation of Joshua Slocum's Sailing Alone Around the World (London and New York 1935), written from English in 1937, is considered an excellent German translation, especially because of the nautical expressions.

After the Second World War he and his wife settled in Regensburg.
