Mahabharata w literaturze polskiej. Przekłady, tłumaczenia, inspiracje

Journal Title: Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich - Year 2016, Vol 59, Issue 3

Abstract

The article covers the topic of the more than one hundred years old tradition of translations of fragments of the Indian epic Mahabharata to Polish. The works of professional indologists like Jan Leciejewski, Helena Willman-Grabowska, Andrzej Ługowski, Halina Marlewicz, Iwona Milewska, Marek Mejor and Joanna Jurewicz are discussed in detail. All these translations are unquestionably direct ones whereas this directness is not certain in regard to the ones which were prepared by Antoni Lange, a famous Polish poet and by Antoni Kałuski. This problem of direct and non-direct translations is indicated in the article. But for the presentation of the tradition of Polish translations of the fragments of the Mahabharata it provides some information on the potential influence given to Polish poets based on the stories coming from this Indian epic. One can definitely trace such influences in the works of Jan Kasprowicz and Bolesław Leśmian.
