High art. Chukovsky K.I.

Rhythmics and sound painting, the “author’s face” of the translation, the eternal and still unresolved dispute between the “letter-ups” and “retells”, the intonation of the translation-these are some questions that every novice translator of poetry and prose will most likely encounter. About this, Chukovsky is vividly and exciting, with his inherent ease, brightness and wit, writes in his book “High Art”. The book will be equally useful to translators and literary scholars, literature historians and philologists, students and just people interested in the problem of transfers of foreign literature into Russian.
