from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eva Bauche-Eppers (born 1954 ) is a German writer and translator. She writes Fantasy under her own name and under the pseudonym Eva Christoff she wrote several episodes of the science fiction series Die Terranauten .

Life

As a teenager she began to translate Tolkien's Lord of the Rings for her mother , since a German edition had not yet appeared at the time. The appearance of the Terra Fantasy paperbacks, and especially the novels of Andre Norton , inspired them to start writing fantasy stories themselves. The result was Wanderer Under Dark Skies , a collection of four fantasy stories published by Bastei in 1981 . Before that, however, she was invited to work on the new series Die Terranauten , where she was the only woman on the team of authors and contributed a total of six novels.

Since then she has mainly worked as a translator for SF and Fantasy. The authors she has translated include Tanith Lee (including Red As Blood ), Michael Moorcock ( The Eternal Champion , The Phoenix in Obsidian and The Dragon In The Sword ), Richard Kirk (pseudonym of Robert Holdstock and Angus Wells for their Raven cycle ) and Robert E. Howard (including The Lost Race and Zukala's Hour ), but above all numerous translations of the works of China Miéville , including The Scar (2002), The Iron Council (2005), Perdido Street Station (2006), Un Lun Dun (2007), The City & The City (2009), Embassytown (2011) and Railsea (2012). She has also translated works by Robert Jackson Bennett , Jesse Bullington , Daniel Easterman , Robin Hobb , Michael Marano , Vonda N. McIntyre Claire North , Richard J. Parker , Paul Robert Smith and James Tiptree .

In 2003 and 2016, she was awarded the Kurd-Laßwitz Prize as best translator for the translation of Perdido Street Station and Railsea .
