Lucio V. Mansilla llega a Hungría: traducción y recepción de <i>Una excursión a los indios ranqueles</i> en Budapest

In 1925, the first translation of Una excursión a los indios ranqueles by Lucio V. Mansilla was published in Germany. Three years later, in 1928, a similar version appeared in Hungary, translated by Gyula Halász. No studies have addressed this edition, its reviews, or its circulation to date. This article aims to reconstruct the conditions of its production, translation, and reception through the analysis of editorial materials, contemporary reviews, and paratextual elements, from a comparative literature perspective. Special attention is given to the figures of the interpreter and the lenguaraz, key elements in the original narrative, as well as to how foreign editions reframe the text as travel literature with pedagogical value. The article concludes that these versions, likely aimed at a young audience, neutralize the political and territorial aspects of the original to present it as ethnographic and entertaining literature.

Abstract

In 1925, the first translation of Una excursión a los indios ranqueles by Lucio V. Mansilla was published in Germany. Three years later, in 1928, a similar version appeared in Hungary, translated by Gyula Halász. No studies have addressed this edition, its reviews, or its circulation to date. This article aims to reconstruct the conditions of its production, translation, and reception through the analysis of editorial materials, contemporary reviews, and paratextual elements, from a comparative literature perspective. Special attention is given to the figures of the interpreter and the lenguaraz, key elements in the original narrative, as well as to how foreign editions reframe the text as travel literature with pedagogical value. The article concludes that these versions, likely aimed at a young audience, neutralize the political and territorial aspects of the original to present it as ethnographic and entertaining literature.
