- ^ After having been translated into English in 1940, the German manuscript, which had not been published, was lost until 2015; the first published version of the novel was the 1940 English translation. Until the original German manuscript was found in 2015 and translated into English in 2019, all published translations, including the 1944 German version, which was translated by Koestler himself, were translated from the English translation and thus were "translations of a translation".[1]
