Saved in translation


Saved in translation - a book by Stanisław Barańczak, dealing with the theory of translation, first published in 1992. The first edition consisted of three parts, the latest edition was supplemented by two additional parts. The book opens with the "Small but Maximal Translatological Manifesto" - an essay in which Barańczak presents his theories of translation of poems, pointing to problems, mistakes most often made by translators and his own solutions, using examples of foreign and personal translations. In this essay, the concept of semantic dominant appears. The second part is also devoted to the translation of poetry, the subject of translation of poetry for children or the translation of the work of specific poets (Brodski, Hopkins, Heaney). The third part is devoted to Polish poets in translation (Białoszewski, Leśmian, and Mickiewicz). The fourth part deals with the issue of the translation of Shakespeare. The fifth part of "A Little Anthology of Problems ..." contains 40 translations of puzzles, along with comments and examples of solutions. Release
