The work of a translator is usually invisible to ordinary readers. And this is good. Because he is the "grey cardinal" of translated literature. His work, seemingly easy and uncomplicated, is actually painstaking and laborious. What is its specificity? What difficulties does a translator face? How exactly were Steve Jobs' biography and James Bond's exploits translated; the endless adventures of the Chase Gangsters and Ray Bradbury's impressive stories? What psychological impact did a translator experience when interpreting L.M. Alcott's famous Little Women or N. Hawthorne's mystical The Scarlet Letter? And then there were E. Poe, O. Henry, and other recognised masters of the word... This book describes in detail the peculiarities of the translator's work, provides eloquent excerpts from the translated works, analyses their stylistic and lexical originality.
