Translation as Artistic Creativity
The article discusses literary translation as artistic creativity on the examples of French translations of Anton Chekhov's <i>Seagull</i> made at different periods and reflecting different translation strategies. The article contrasts decisions taken by A. Adamov, M. Duras, A. <i>Markovic and F. Morvan</i> as well as F. Courvoisier, A. Vitez, E. Triolet. Suggested solutions are analyzed and an attempt is made to justify their transformations and deformations of Chekhov's text.
