Abstract
The article highlights the specifics of the dystopian novella “Animal Farm” by George Orwell from the perspective of the retranslation hypothesis developed by a French theorist of translation Antoine Berman. George Orwell, an English novelist, may be deservedly called the master of dystopian novels for his talent to reveal the disadvantages of a society and to foretell the consequences of political regimes in an implicative way. The analysis is held on the basis of five Ukrainian translations made in different ideological environments, the chronological distance between the first one made in 1947 and the last one accomplished in 1992 comprising 45 years. The retranslation hypothesis admits the existence of multiple translations of the same literary work, the first one tending to employ the domestication strategy, every following appealing to the strategy of foreignization. The individual author’s lexical and stylistic devices comprise the background for justifying or rejecting the validity of the hypothesis. The analyzed phenomenon functions within a framework of the cultural approach in translation which has ushered a new era in treating the individuality of a translator as a creator of a target text which is equated with the authentic one. The multiplicity of translations forms the boundaries of the genre specifics, provides a reader with a right of option and presents an enormous space for a translation theoretician to conduct the analysis and to define the prevailing tendencies in translation at a certain time period. The retranslation hypothesis establishes an intercultural dialogue due to the relevance of a certain author or genre in a certain culture delivering the world masterpieces to the target audiences.
