Unlock the Art of Translation with Vladimir Babkov
Have you ever dreamed of translating your first book, or wondered how professional translators approach their craft? Игра слов (Wordplay) by Vladimir Babkov offers a rare and insightful journey into the philosophy, psychology, and practice of literary translation. This is not a textbook or a dry academic treatise—Babkov himself warns against expecting “valuable scientific conclusions” from a translator, comparing it to asking a butterfly for a treatise on entomology.
Instead, Babkov shares his hard-won experience, guiding you from the broadest principles to the most concrete details. He explores multiple real-world cases, emphasizing that there are no ready-made solutions. He encourages translators to trust their intuition and feel for the text. Along the way, you’ll discover practical, actionable advice: the pros and cons of different dictionaries, which one is most versatile, and how to navigate the journey from first encountering a text to crafting the perfect dictionary entry.
This book is a collection of priceless experience, leading you by the hand from general concepts to specific, usable skills. Ideal for aspiring translators or anyone curious about the hidden craft behind every translated work.
