Abstract: The paper explores the problem of the strategy of the literary text translation that is chiefly a result of the pretranslation analysis and deep preliminary work with the source text. The research is aimed at solving a diversity of translation problems when selecting equivalents for culturally and thematically marked lexical units in different kinds of literary fiction. While selecting proper correspondences in the target language it is crucially important to consider literary peculiarities of the source text and background information relevant to it. The article shows how to work on the translation of the said vocabulary cluster on the basis of the novel "Regeneration" by Pat Barker, a contemporary British writer. The central event of the plot is the Great War (WWI) and its consequences for individuals. The action focuses on the life story of a renowned British poet and military officer Siegfried Sassoon who has to struggle with a severe existential crisis after witnessing all the horrors of the war on the West Front.
