| Popis: | The author of the article conducts a comparative review of three translations of Dante’s The New Life (Vita Nova). Translations by M.I. Liverovskaya (1918), A.M. Efros (1934) and I.N. Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1968) were made in different historical periods by representatives of different translation schools, but at the same time they turn out to be paradoxically close to each other in terms of freedom and accuracy, as well as in terms of basic translation principles. Liverovskaya works in the paradigm of her time, and Efros, maintaining the basic principles of the “literalist” program in the prose parts, in the poetic parts returns to the experiences of his translation debuts, i. e. to the Silver Age. Golenishchev-Kutuzov, although he belongs to the next generation by birth, did not survive the generational breakdown, since he spent a significant part of his life in emigration. He returned to the USSR in the mid-1950s, in the era of the already absolute monopoly of the so-called “creative” translation school: his New Life is a kind of combination of official translation and the traditions of “Balmont’s” translation. |
