Slovo zhivoe i mertvoe - Gal' Nora

This book, only republished three times during the author's lifetime (and every next edition of Nora Gal has been largely reworked and supplemented), and subsequently six more times, is the best ever written in our country. works on the theory of literary translation. Nora Gal not only analyzes the most common errors of translators and demonstrates successful examples of translations, but also, by generalizing her own literary experience, offers the concept of the "perfect language" of translation - lively and natural.
