Subject: Re: Modernism and translation


Dear Ida,
In 1921 Conrad translated from the Polish a comedy, "The Book of Job," by
Bruno Winaver.  Both this translation and his interest in translations of
his own works by Andre Gide and Jean-Aubry, among others, were based more
on his own familiarity with the languages than on theoretical study.

best,
Alison Wheatley
