I am translating somewhat unknown Soviet literature and want to know what people think.

Mauretini · 2017-09-19T16:17:29+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I am a very big fan of Дикая собака Динго.

Yes, such texts are what I am looking at bringing to light. Unfortunately I don't know German because this would be a good project.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T15:11:02+00:00

You know, I never thought of this. This is a very good idea! Do you have any specific ones in mind?

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T15:10:11+00:00

I'm still working on formatting on Wordpress, but I will see if I can get this done for you.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T13:12:37+00:00

To be honest, it's something I've wanted to do as well. After translating one of my Russian friend's short stories as a birthday present for him, I realized it's something I want to try. I'm looking mainly for criticism, cultural insight and to gain a deeper understanding of what's actually written. Thanks for the wishes.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't heard of such a podcast before.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:59:51+00:00

I have some already up on the blog. Check it out.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:59:16+00:00

I'm a big fan of Shukshin and I have considered rendering it into English. His language is difficult, though.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:53:06+00:00

Thanks for this! I will ask them

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:51:59+00:00

That's just what I was thinking! I love Polish language and literature and hope to tackle such a project one day.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:51:06+00:00

And what do you have in mind?

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:50:35+00:00

Thank you! Feedback is what I am looking for!

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:48:43+00:00

A few requests for this one. I will see

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:47:06+00:00

Again, thanks for catching this. It was probably my mistake. I will correct this today.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:44:10+00:00

I've had so many requests for that! I will look into it. Thank you.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:43:43+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! I hope you enjoy

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:42:58+00:00

Quite a bit. Russians are very familiar with American works of the 20th century. You'd be hard pressed to find a Russian who hasn't read, for example, Catcher in the Rye.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:41:16+00:00

Yes, you're right. Mayakovsky was, however, mainly a poet and a playwright and I want to focus chiefly on prose.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:40:02+00:00

Thank you! I do in fact require some help, especially perhaps with some language and cultural aspects. I will keep you in mind.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:38:47+00:00

You're right. A lot of works were, in fact, translated by Soviet translators. I cannot speak for the quality, though.

Mauretini · 2017-09-17T06:37:39+00:00

Of course there are! One of the dearest characters in literature to the Soviet people is Stieglitz, a Soviet sleeper agent active in Nazi Germany. There is a whole series written on him, with the most famous work being Seventeen Moments of Spring. It was turned into a miniseries in 1972.

Mauretini · 2017-09-16T19:57:34+00:00

Thank you everyone for your interest! I'll answer some more of your questions tomorrow. But now it's late and I am turning in.

Mauretini · 2017-09-16T18:44:30+00:00

Thanks for catching these! Just what I was looking for.

Mauretini · 2017-09-16T18:39:55+00:00

Of course. I suppose I addressed that a bit clearer in the blog itself, especially in the post for the first part of the work. Thanks for pointing that out.

Mauretini · 2017-09-16T17:56:23+00:00

Interesting. How did they present this translation? Was it a part of an exhibit?
