Happy International Translation Day!

Happy International Translation Day!

Report on the history of the development of Ukrainian literary translation and translation studies and meeting with leading translators.


On September 28, 2016, the E Bookstore held a lecture given by Associate Professor of the Department of English Translation Theory and Practice, Oleksandr Kalnychenko. The lecture acquainted the attendees with outstanding translators whose names are associated with Karazin University.

The interesting report covered almost the entire history of the development of Ukrainian literary translation and translation studies. The famous Kharkiv translators attended the lecture, too.

In particular, Oleksandra Kovalova recited her own translations of German poetry and original compositions. Ihor Ilin and Oleksandr Kalnychenko shared their opinions about translation difficulties of Charles Palahniuk’s works that were included in the compendium "Make Something Up".

This event proves how powerful Kharkiv school of literary translation has been and still remains, and how significant its contribution at the national level is.
