Abstract

In September 1942, the pioneering ethologist Nikolaas (Niko) Tinbergen (1907–1988), together with other intellectuals who had protested against the expulsion of Jewish academics from Leiden University, The Netherlands, by the invading Nazi forces, was incarcerated in Beekvliet hostage camp in North Brabant. In his weekly letters home Tinbergen wrote Klieuw, the serialized story of a herring gull ( Larus argentatus), based on his previous field work, for his three children. Another inmate in the camp, Louis (L. J. C.) Boucher, a publisher, encouraged Tinbergen to publish the story as a book. Tinbergen and his fellow prisoners were released in September 1944 and with academic life returning to normal, Tinbergen went on a three-month lecture tour to the United States in 1946. It was there that the book, translated into English, was first published in 1947 under the title Kleew. The Dutch edition titled appeared a year later and was more successful than the English version, with many adults and children reading and memorizing the book’s contents. Because of Tinbergen’s extraordinary clarity of expression, Klieuw was considered one of the best Dutch children’s books of its time.
尼古拉斯·廷伯根的儿童读物《Kleew》(1947):一只鲱鱼海鸥的故事
1942年9月,动物行为学先驱尼古拉·丁伯根(Nikolaas (Niko) Tinbergen, 1907-1988)和其他知识分子一起,抗议入侵的纳粹军队驱逐荷兰莱顿大学的犹太学者,他们被监禁在北布拉班特的Beekvliet人质集中营。在他每周的家信中,丁伯根为他的三个孩子写了《Klieuw》,这是一本以鲱鱼鸥(Larus argentatus)为基础的连刊故事,以他以前的野外工作为基础。集中营里的另一个囚犯路易斯(l.j.)出版商鲍彻鼓励丁伯根把这个故事出版成书。1944年9月,丁伯根和他的同伴获释,随着学术生活恢复正常,丁伯根于1946年前往美国进行了为期三个月的巡回演讲。正是在那里,这本书被翻译成英文,于1947年首次出版,书名为Kleew。荷兰语版比英文版晚了一年出版,比英文版更受欢迎,许多成年人和孩子都阅读并记住了书中的内容。由于丁伯根异常清晰的表达,《Klieuw》被认为是当时最好的荷兰儿童书籍之一。
