Brief mit eh. U. und Gedichttyposkript mit eh. Korrekturen. 4°. 1/2 und 2/3 S. Dat. 8. Okt. 1973.. . Fried schickt seine überarbeitete Übersetzung des letzten Gedichts von Pablo Neruda an einen Redakteur der "Frankfurter Rundschau". Fried hatte das Gedicht ursprünglich nach einer englischen Übersetzung ins Deutsche übertragen. Inzwischen hatte er das spanische Original bekommen und festgestellt, daß dies stark abweicht und eine deutsche Neuübersetzung daher nötig war. "Besteht wohl eine Möglichkeit, dieses letzte und daher doch einigermaßen wichtige Gedicht Nerudas ... zur Ehre seines Andenkens und der FR in der richtigen Form abzudrucken ..." - Die erste (falsche) Übersetzung erschien 1973 in "die horen" und wurde dort 1985 auch nachgedruckt. Die neue beiliegende Übersetzung des Gedichts "Die Satrapen" ist unveröffentlicht und weist starke Abweichungen zur ersten Fassung auf. - Gefaltet und etwas knittrig.
