James Joyce. Fragment from “Dubliners".
First Joyce`s text in Russian
England. Collection of new works. Series: Library of the "Red Niva"
The first translation of Joyce into the Russian language. This edition consists of stories by English writers and includes translation of " Counterparts", a story from "Dubliners".
Joyce's long and difficult journey to the Russian reader began with this publication. As for the translation of "Dubliners" into Russian, here Joyce's collection of short stories was waiting for a difficult fate. After first publication in a small supplement of the magazine "Red Niva", the first separate edition of "Dubliners" appeared in 1927. Translated from English and foreword by E. N. Fedotova. Cover by George Fitingof. In the mid-30s, the First Translation Association under the leadership of Ivan Kashkin began working on Joyce's collection "Dubliners". The collection was published in 1937 without specifying the names of the translators. The author of the afterword was forced to hide under a pseudonym. The names of the translators became known only in 1982, 45 years after the first publication, when a new edition of "Dubliners" was prepared in the appendix to the magazine "Foreign Literature".
Ex-library copy, one page lost (from the last story). All pages with Joyce are in good condition.
