The Ark of the Translator. From the Experience of Translating the Anthology A<em>t the End of the World: Contemporary Poetry from Bulgaria </em>(Shearsman Books, Bristol 2012)

Abstract

Being a poet, a translator and a publisher, the author claims that the current global literary scene has nothing to complain about. It is talent (and especially a talent for marketing) that ensures writers and their works a ‘place in the sun’, or, to use the key image of the essay, a place in the new Noah’s Ark, namely the corpus of literary works translated into English.
