And they hurt a lot, as well. Nevertheless, driven by her own linguistic talent, Ana Vučković - the protagonist who loses - manages to keep going through the epoch that had ended and was never coming back, settled in the past, until she finds a way out of it.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quote from the study of critic Srđan Srdić \/ Vladimir Arsenic, also translated into Maltese at the end of the book, \u003cem\u003eJugoslav\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Ana Vučković (1984- ), a graduate in dramaturgy from the University of Belgrade, is a Serbian author and screenwriter. She published a collection of stories and some novels; one of her novels \u003cem\u003eYugoslav\u003c\/em\u003e (2019), written in the first person, was a finalist for the Award for Best Novel of the Year (which is a prestigious Serbian literary award that is given annually for an outstanding newly published novel in Serbian). This novel \u003cem\u003eYugoslav\u003c\/em\u003e was translated from Serbian into English by the Serbian Nataša Srdić (1984- ) who is also a graduate from the University of Belgrade. She graduated in English language and literature, and eventually became a literary translator. In fact, she has translated many books from Serbian into English and vice versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Now the novel has been translated from English into Maltese by Toni (Anthony) Aquilina (1954- ) who is a professor of French and a foremost literary translator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'The title \u003cem\u003eYugoslav\u003c\/em\u003e alludes to the personal aspect of a lifelong Yugoslav and to a common citizen of Yugoslavia. And the novel’s context is set in Yugoslavian culture as the narrator unfolds stored events in her memory to reveal the disappearance of an era, while delineating the rise of a man and his later fall, and the formerly common life of a family (which form the basis of the novel). Generally speaking, the work tends to be wistfully mournful as it deals with the loss of a loving relative and is very close to an elegy in prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Following the death of her father (who remained a Yugoslav throughout his life), the protagonist regenerates her relationship with him, generally depicting moments of her childhood as happy experiences with him and her family. These episodes are juxtaposed with social everyday culture as Yugoslavia (in Srdić’s words) was being assassinated (p.111). The narration shifts from the private and intimate moments to the social and common events which lead the narrator to reflect on existential considerations of human life in past Yugoslav everyday culture. So it treats a mixture of themes, like: the joy of being with the family at home, sociability, meeting the father in the city, professional and artistic ambitions, friendship, the desire to travel, love, and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Aquilina’s Maltese version is a translation of a translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'We have to look at translation in the wide context of human communication. And we find the monolingual communicator to be different from the bilingual translator. The monolingual communicator encodes messages in the language used by the receivers of the text; for instance, a Maltese writer writes in Maltese for the Maltese. The translator, on the other hand, decodes messages communicated in one language (L1) and re-encodes them in another (L2): he is a sort of bilingual mediating agent. And in a translation of a translation there is a different re-encoding process. The new translator takes the messages which have already been re-encoded in L2 to produce another re-encoding in a third language (L3). In simple terms, in translation we have the process L1→L2, and in a translation of a translation we have the process L1→L2→L3. So in a translation of a translation we have an interpretation of an interpretation because every translation is an interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Aquilina’s choice of words in his version (e.g. banju instead of xawer, kakka instead of ħmieġ, qaħbeċ instead of imniefaħ, qlejzietha instead of ix-xorz tagħha, żejżietek instead of sidrek, żibdi instead of tal-butir, jitferċħu instead of b’saqajhom imfettħin) is part of his interpretation. But he maintains the essential feature of the original novel and in Maltese he presents a temporal emptiness in the narrator after her father’s death. And despite this vacuum we see her coming to terms with his departure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'The length of the novel’s chapters is significant because it varies from being extremely short (as the chapters on Mewt, p.5, and Kafè, p.40) to being many pages long (as Mirjana, p.50-57, and Il-Platt, p.58-70). Furthermore, the chapters are presented in just one paragraph – so a 12-page chapter consists of only one long paragraph. Such a delivery helps us to imagine the mental processes of the narrator. The content of each chapter is kept within the confines of a single paragraph to imply that there are no boundaries between the stream of ideas treated in a particular chapter. And the unbroken flow of the narrator’s thoughts (which mingle dream and reality) helps us to arrive quickly at the intended experience and to give us the impression that the mind’s workings have not been censored. Moments of heartache are often interspersed with some humour or irony. And on a general level, that flow touches upon the universal in human nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'In Aquilina’s interlingual translation we can see the energy of our language as an element in the cultural struggle of our times. His work contains the expressive qualities of Maltese as he seeks to energise his prose by clarity, explicitness, and rhythm together with sense. In itself this process is rather creative. His approach is to capture the energy of each chapter and to seek to escape from the rigid straitjacket of tradition especially through a mixture of informality and archaicising.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA review from Charles Briffa, Professor of Maltese and Translation at the University of Malta.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ana Vučković","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58735616917878,"sku":"182","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/3511\/2822\/files\/2024__10__Cover-Jugoslav-Front.jpg?v=1790583803"},{"product_id":"kaligula-caligula","title":"Kaligula \/ Caligula","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt-tnejn u għoxrin traduzzjoni fis-Sensiela Traduzzjonijiet Faraxa, \u003cem\u003eKaligula\u003c\/em\u003e huwa wieħed miż-żewġ drammi ta' Albert Camus li jittrattaw it-tema tal-Assurd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eId-Direzzjoni tas-sensiela Traduzzjonijiet Faraxa ddedikaw dan ix-xogħol tal-Prof. Toni Aquilina lill-memorja tal-mibki Prof. Oliver Friġġieri li fost id-doni kbar li kellu nsibu dak ta' traduttur ta' ħila kbira.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Albert Camus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58735620096374,"sku":"131","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/3511\/2822\/files\/2024__10__Kaligula-F.jpg?v=1790583811"},{"product_id":"kumewawa-iben-il-gungla","title":"Kumewawa: Iben il-Ġungla","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKumewawa: Iben il-Ġungla\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eKumewawa: Son of the Jungle\u003c\/em\u003e hu d-disa' ktieb fis-Sensiela Traduzzjonijiet Faraxa.

These gems in the history of French fin de siècle theatre concern man’s conflict with preternatural forces against which he is powerless, foreshadowing the subject-matter, if not the style, of the Theatre of the absurd. This is a disquieting theatre reflecting the playwright’s theory of drama, as developed in \"Le Tragique quotidien\" \/ \"It-Traġiku fil-Ħajja ta’ Kuljum\" \/ \"The Tragical in Daily Life\", published in his book of philosophical essays, \u003cem\u003eLe Trésor des humbles\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eIt-Teżor tal-Umli\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Treasure of the Humble\u003c\/em\u003e (1896). The mystery which Maeterlinck found everywhere around us and within us, he managed to embody it in these plays. To quote from the citation accompanying the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911, the distinctive quality of Maeterlinck’s symbolist drama was 'their richness of imagination and poetic realism'.

No translator who wants to do justice to de Maupassant can leave out at least one story dealing with the macabre, the narrative in which the author excelled. Aquilinas choice fell on \"Id il-Maqruħ\", inspired by a present given to him by Algernon Charles Swinborne as a memento when they became acquainted in Eretat (Normandy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne third of the stories written by de Maupassant are set in Normandy as the author remained loyal to his birthplace until the end of his life. Although in \"Il-Papà ta Simon\" and \"Magħmudija\" direct references to the region are absent, it is beyond doubt that there is where these stories are set. Direct references to Normandy are found in \"Ix-Xwejjaħ Pa Milon\" and in \"Id il-Maqruħ\". In the former the main theme is the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, whereas in the latter it is the macabre and Normandy alternates with Paris in the plot. In \"Minwett\" and \"Ġifa\", the action develops in Luxembourg garden. In \"Vjaġġ Sanitarju\", we come across a married couple who leave the capital city for the Mediterranean to avoid illnesses, but who return soon afterward because of a comical misunderstanding. Likewise comical is the story \"Il-Karezzi\" where reference to the church of La Madeleine leaves the reader in no doubt as to where the protagonists live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translator also chose \"Il-Karezzi\" because here de Maupassant speaks about women and we all know that he had affairs with many women. But at the same time, he did not hold them in high esteem. He saw them as inferior creatures able to enslave men with their beauty, and if need be with their weaknesses as well. Therefore, one would not be surprised that he sought women exclusively for sexual encounters. Finally, Aquilina did not want to leave out the exotic element in de Maupassant's work, with which many authors of his time loved to pepper their writings. The harsh customs in an equally harsh environment that one came across in Corsica amounted to a strange experience outside the normal routine of everyday life for people in France. \"Vendetta\", which came out in the second volume of Maupassant's short stories already translated into Maltese, is followed here by \"Brigant Korsikan\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy de Maupassant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58735761195382,"sku":"3","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/3511\/2822\/files\/2024__12__sbuhija_mohlija.jpg?v=1790584060"},{"product_id":"snow-in-amman","title":"Snow in Amman","description":"\u003cp\u003eFilled with deeply nuanced storytelling and vividly drawn, often heartbreaking human characters, \u003cem\u003eSnow in Amman: An Anthology of Short Stories from Jordan\u003c\/em\u003e is a rich selection of contemporary Jordanian fiction which stands in stark contrast to many of the prevailing stereotypes of Arabic culture.
