Talk
Sixth Translators' Evening: Antony Wood and Donald Rayfield
PROGRAMME OF PUSKIN CLUB
Language: In English
The Pushkin Club is continuing with its series of events: “Translators’ Evenings”, where translators of Russian poetry and prose read and discuss their work. Translators, academics, students and anybody interested in Russian literature are invited to discuss the relation between the original and the translation, compare (if available) different translations of the same original and see how the art of translation helps literature to cross over boundaries between languages and cultures.
Translations and originals are available before the evening, below. If you wish to follow the discussion please print them out and bring them with you.

His books include The Dream of Lhasa (a biography of Nikolay Przhevalsky), Anton Chekhov — A Life (its Russian version has been a best-seller for some five years), Stalin and his Hangmen (which has been translated into nine other languages), and A History of Georgian Literature. His Edge of Empire: A History of Georgia will be published by Reaktion Books in September. He has translated Gogol’s Dead Souls (with Marc Chagall’s engravings), a book praised by William Boyd, as well as Georgian and Russian poetry
