Двенадцать лекций о переводе художественной литературы (на примере перевода русской литературы на хорватский язык

The manual Twelve Lessons on the Literary Translation (Using the Example of the Translation of Russian Literature into Croatian) Двенадцать лекций о переводе художественной литературы (на примере перевода русской литературы на хорватский язык), by Professor Rafaela Božić, is intended for students of Russian language and literature specializing in translation. The first three lessons provide an overview of the history of the translation of Russian literature into Croatian, with particular emphasis on how various historical and political circumstances have influenced translation and the role of Russian literature in Croatian culture. The remaining nine lessons address key problems in the literary translation, both poetry and prose, using specific examples of contact between Croatian and Russian culture and language. They explore such topics as approaches to cross-cultural translation, the critical importance of a single word, and the impact of grammatical differences. The manual is rich in exercises and tasks that enable students to test the theoretical premises presented in the introductory section of each lesson. Every lesson begins with an intriguing question designed to encourage students to reflect on the problems under discussion.
