Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the translation of Polish literature into Romanian from 1945 to 2024, with particular emphasis on the pivotal role of translators in promoting and disseminating Polish literary works. It examines how translators navigated censorship before 1989, their preferences in selecting texts, and their influence on shaping the Romania reception and canon of Polish literature. The study also discusses post-1989 developments, highlighting the contributions of five prominent Romanian translators and the factors guiding their choices of Polish authors. Ultimately, the paper pays tribute to these often-overlooked cultural mediators, once anonymous or marginalized, now increasingly acknowledged, with their names appearing alongside authors on book covers.
