Kobzar de Taras Shevchenko

Kobzar

Autor Taras Shevchenko
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 oct 2013

Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit aparatul critic și soluțiile de traducere propuse de Peter Fedynsky în această ediție de referință. Dincolo de valoarea literară, volumul funcționează ca un instrument de studiu istoric, oferind note de subsol riguroase despre evenimente și figuri marcante ale istoriei Ucrainei care au fost sistematic ocultate în perioadele de cenzură imperială și sovietică. Suntem de părere că această abordare pragmatică, ce include explicații simbolice pentru toponimele specifice, permite cititorului de limbă engleză să pătrundă în substratul cultural al unei națiuni aflate în plin proces de definire.

Această ediție paperback publicată de GLAGOSLAV PUBLICATIONS B.V. umple un gol semnificativ în studiile umaniste, fiind prima redare completă a versurilor lui Shevchenko. Traducerea lui Fedynsky completează perspectiva oferită de Translation as Resistance de Zuzana Štastná, adăugând materialul sursă esențial pentru a înțelege modul în care literatura devine un act de rezistență politică. În timp ce studiul lui Štastná analizează fenomenul traducerii ca opoziție, Kobzar exemplifică forța cuvântului scris în fața represiunii. De asemenea, lucrarea se înrudește tematic cu From the Bible to Shakespeare de Andrii Danylenko, ambele explorând formarea identității naționale prin intermediul limbajului literar.

Credem că relevanța acestui volum pentru curriculumul de istorie și literatură comparată este incontestabilă. Spre deosebire de Ditjachij Kobzar, versiunea ilustrată pentru copii, prezenta ediție păstrează asprimea și mesajul politic direct al autorului. Stilul traducerii este unul direct, fără artificii inutile, punând accent pe claritatea mesajului de libertate și justiție socială care l-a transformat pe Taras Shevchenko într-un simbol național.

Despre autor

Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861) este figura centrală a literaturii ucrainene, a cărui viață reflectă însăși drama poporului său. Născut în iobăgie, el a fost răscumpărat de prieteni artiști, devenind un pictor și poet de renume. Opera sa, marcată de spiritul de rebeliune împotriva opresiunii țariste, a pus bazele limbii ucrainene moderne. Deși a petrecut mulți ani în exil și închisoare sub regimul lui Nikolai I, Shevchenko a lăsat o moștenire culturală vastă, fiind onorat astăzi cu peste 1.200 de monumente în întreaga lume. Lucrarea sa de căpătâi, Kobzar, rămâne un pilon al literaturii slave.

Descriere scurtă

Masterfully fulfilled by Peter Fedynsky, Voice of America journalist and expert on Ukrainian studies, this first ever English translation of the complete Kobzar brings out Ukraine's rich cultural heritage. As a foundational text, The Kobzar has played an important role in galvanizing the Ukrainian identity and in the development of Ukraine's written language and Ukrainian literature. The first editions had been censored by the Russian czar, but the book still made an enduring impact on Ukrainian culture. There is no reliable count of how many editions of the book have been published, but an official estimate made in 1976 put the figure in Ukraine at 110 during the Soviet period alone. That figure does not include Kobzars released before and after both in Ukraine and abroad. A multitude of translations of Shevchenko's verse into Slavic, Germanic and Romance languages, as well as Chinese, Japanese, Bengali, and many others attest to his impact on world culture as well. The poet is honored with more than 1250 monuments in Ukraine, and at least 125 worldwide, including such capitals as Washington, Ottawa, Buenos Aires, Warsaw, Moscow and Tashkent. ________________________ Taras Shevchenko deserves an entire school of translators, especially today. He arose out of serfdom to become a groundbreaking poet and an object of the ire of Russian Tsar Nikolai I; in the process, he did nothing less than help shape modern Ukraine, the largest country within the continent of Europe. Yet Shevchenko remains a relatively poorly known figure in world literature. Fedynsky's accessible, no-frills translation of his entire collected verse seeks to change this state of affairs. With enthusiasm and care, it sets out to showcase the breadth of the poet's concerns and to convey the fullness of his message of freedom and justice to Ukraine, and to the world. Rory Finnan Director, Ukrainian Studies Program Cambridge University I cannot help but instantiate some of the translator's manifold contrivances and witty finds in rendering multiple national geographic and personal names with descriptive or symbolic elements, so that their pragmatic meaning or significance might "shine through" for English readers. Fedynsky has also supplied additional footnotes on important historical characters and significant geographic names, on the turning points in Ukraine's history once forbidden to be mentioned by Moscow authorities.

Notă biografică

Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) was a Ukrainian author and artist. The Kobzar, which he worked on for nearly 25 years, is considered his masterpiece. His works are celebrated worldwide in museums and cultural centres named after him.Shevchenko has a special place in Ukrainian history: his poetry is considered to be a foundation for modern written Ukrainian and for Ukrainian literature. Aside from his literary work, his paintings earned him many awards and a professional title from the Imperial Academy of Arts.Born into serfdom, Shevchenko experienced poverty from an early age. By the age of 11, he had lost both his parents, but before passing away, his father managed to get him an apprenticeship with a deacon, who taught the young boy to read and write. After the death of his parents, Shevchenko was an itinerant worker until the age of fourteen, when he became a house servant with his overlord, Pavel Engelhardt.The boy showed an early talent for art. At 15, he travelled with Engelhardt to St. Petersburg and was given a series of apprenticeships. Eventually, he came to the attention of several prominent intellectuals, including Russia's finest living painter, Karl Briullov, and poet Vasily Zhukovsky, who was the tutor of future Czar Alexander II. They bought Shevchenko's freedom for 2,500 rubles by auctioning off one of Bruillov's portraits of Zhukovsky. In 1838, Shevchenko was accepted into the Imperial Academy of Arts as Briullov's student.The first half of the 1840s is considered propitious for the artist. Having written poetry since 1837, Shevchenko published his first Kobzar in 1840. The collection earned him critical and popular acclaim, and his status as a cultural figure was on the rise. He returned to Ukraine for the first time at the age of 29, travelling extensively for a critical three year period from 1843-45 that resulted in a series of paintings and some of his most penetrating and patriotic verse. In Kyiv, he joined the Cyril and Methodius Brotherhood, a secret organization that advocated the abolition of serfdom and also the right of every Slavic nation to develop its own culture and language. His membership in the Brotherhood, deemed subversive by czarist authorities, as well as his controversial poetry, led to Shevchenko's arrest in 1847. He was then exiled with a military detachment to Orenburg on the edge of the Ural Mountains. Czar Nicholas I personally prohibited Shevchenko from writing or painting.Shevchenko, however, violated the Czar's orders. Such insubordination led to even deeper banishment to the town of Novopetrovsk on the desolate eastern shore of the Caspian Sea. (In honour of the poet, the city was renamed Shevchenko in 1963). His friends, including members of the prominent Tolstoy family, appealed for his release, which finally came in 1857.Shevchenko's health was permanently affected by the ordeal, but his creative output remained strong. In 1860, the Imperial Academy of Arts honoured the artist with a professional academic title. Soon after, his health deteriorated and he died of heart failure on March 10, 1861- seven days before the abolition of serfdom was formally announced.
