| dc.description.abstract | This article makes an overview of two Bulgarian translations of the poem
“Don Quixote” by the Russian symbolist poet, writer, translator and critic
Dmitry Merezhkovsky. The poem written in 1887 is a vivid example of the
artistic and creative reception of Cervantes' novel in Russia. Its Bulgarian
versions reveal the assimilation of the image of Don Quixote in Bulgarian
literature by means of translation. The first translation is from the beginning of
the XX century and belongs to Dimitar Podvarzachov, and the second is from
the beginning of the XXI century and is a creation of Petar Velchev.
In the article is made an attempt for a comparative analysis of the two Bulgarian
translations – it is traced to what extent the original form, metrics, rhymes and
inversions are preserved; as well as whether the ideological and figurative
influence of the Russian poem is comparable to that of its Bulgarian versions. | en_US |
