The monograph is the result of many years of research on the translated heritage of N. M. Karamzin. A systematic study of his translation discourse allows us to significantly expand the usual idea of ​ ​ Karamzin - a prose writer, creator of a sentimentalist story, a talented journalist and an outstanding historiographer. The Russian writer appears as a professional translator who introduced the Russian reader to the masterpieces of world literature. The use of translated materials in copyright journals ("Moscow Journal," later - "Bulletin of Europe") is revealed.
