There’s a little sense of dissonance when I read a classic and my response is “huh, okay.” This is especially true when I read the classic in translation; in this case, the translation is very smooth, contemporary, and easy to read, which causes its own form of dissonance. These now feel like contem...
Ivan Petrovich Belkin left behind a great number of manuscripts.... Most of them, as Ivan Petrovich told me, were true stories heard from various people.

Czyli wykorzystywanie cudzej twórczości wcześnie się zaczęło (w tym przypadku Sienkiewicz od Puszkina). I nie mam mu tego za...
First a caveat—this is more of a preliminary evaluation of the book than a proper review. I will eventually give it its proper due. Being a long-time reader of works in translation, I know how important it is to find a worthwhile translation before beginning the reading of any particular work. Poor...
Od razvodnjenog i raspatetisanog "Sužnja", preko pokušaja dramatičnosti u kom ne uspeva "Mocart i Salijeri", do idealno narodnjačke "Zimske večeri" koja se sama čita glasom Miroslava Ilića, zbirka je sataraš. Hranljiv i jestiv, ali ja bih to drugačije. Meni su, uz Zimsko veče, najbliže: (K***) E...
