Abstract: As a way of illustrating literary translation as an artistic task, this article focuses on Lydia Davis s and Mario Laranjeira’s translations of the classic Madame Bovary. Based on a brief analysis of the translations and on the translators comments, it draws attention to the creativity, sensitivity and diligence involved in the task. Furthermore, it considers two premises within the realm of literary translation studies - translation as re-creation and translators as the authors of their work - as a way of favoring the hypothesis that literary translation is an art.
