«The Century of Translation (2006)" Evgeny Vitkovsky: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2006 / Translation from English, Afrikaans, Belarusian, Georgian, Danish, ancient Greek, Hebrew, Yiddish, Icelandic, Spanish, Italian, Quenya , Latin, Maltese, German, Dutch, Modern Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Old Provençal, Turkish, Ukrainian, French, Czech, Swedish The genre of poetic translation has not seen similar publications in its entire history: without the Internet it would have been impossible to make such a book. The success of the first anthology, “The Century of Translation” (2005), only provoked both poet-translators and readers: the publication of a new one was required. This time there are fifty participants, translations have been made from twenty-seven languages, and a solid section of literary heritage has appeared. The volume of the book is one and a half times larger than the previous one. At the end there is an index of translated authors (for both books) - almost 300 names. I would like to hope that this anthology will not be the last.
