"LITERATURA NA SWIECIE" PRIZES 2002
languages: Polski  / English 
 

"Literatura na swiecie" / "World Literature" prizes 2002.

Michal Klobukowski, author of a new translation of Joseph Conrad's "LORD JIM", received this year's best translation prize from "Literatura na Swiecie" / "WORLD LITERATURE" monthly. Klobukowski's modern translation is the first to appear since Aniela Zagorska's translation, which was first published in 1933 and subsequently went through several editions.

The prize for translation debut went to Wawrzyniec Brzozowski, translator of Georges Perec's "ZYCIE. INSTRUKCJA OBSLUGI / LIFE – A USER'S MANUAL". Anna Burzynska won the prize in the "Comparative Literature, Translation Studies, and Lexicography" category for her book titled "DEKONSTRUKCJA I INTERPRETACJA / DECONSTRUCTION AND INTERPRETATION", published by Universitas in its "Horyzonty Nowoczesnosci" ("Horizons of Modernity") series, which also won the monthly’s award for "publication initiatives."

The jury headed by Edward Balcerzan decided not to bestow a prize in the poetry category.

The "WORLD LITERATURE" awards have existed since 1976. Last year's winners included Piotr Godlewski for his translation of Bohumil Hrabal's "WESELE W DOMU / WEDDING IN THE HOUSE", Aleksandra Ambros for her translation of Angela Carter's collection of short stories "CZARNA WENUS / BLACK VENUS", and the "Pogranicze" (Borderland) Publishing House for its "Meridian" series. Last year also saw "World Literature" hand out a lifetime achievement in translation award to Malgorzata Lukasiewicz, translator of the works of Hans Georg Gadamer and Herman Hesse among others.
