The Living and the Dead Word

"The Living and the Dead Word" occupies a distinct place in the creative legacy of Nora Gal. This book, which was reissued three times during the author's lifetime (with each subsequent edition significantly revised and supplemented by Nora Gal), and... later – six more times, represents the best of what has ever been written in our country on the theory of literary translation.
Nora Gal not only analyzes the most common mistakes made by translators and demonstrates successful examples of translations, but also, summarizing her own literary experience, proposes a concept of the "ideal language" of translation – lively and natural.
