Ivan Chaplygin talks about the difficult relationship within the couple, the author is a translator. It will allow you to look into the translation kitchen and literally show on your fingers how a good translation differs from a mediocre and frankly bad one. Ivan will talk about the sense of the word, unjustified Russification and translation puzzles. About well-deserved criticism and unreasonable nit-picking. And also about competition among translators, about finding customers and about the pleasure of work. This book will help you understand how to find the essence in the muddy water of the author's statement and how to convey meaning without distorting the original and not bringing your own sound into it.
