Sažetak
More than two decades have passed since the publication of Dorota Masłowska’s novel Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną (2002), which is still considered one of the greatest contemporary Polish literary sensations. The book divided Polish critics and readers: some were delighted with the text of the young writer who, preparing for graduation, wrote a novel in which she faithfully and without hesitation presented the image of Polish society, while others were shocked by chaos, lack of story, lack of cohesion and coherence and disgusted by vulgar language. The author was therefore for some a “voice of the young generation”, for others a “voice of the margin”. The great interest of the media, numerous editions and provoked controversies have certainly contributed to the translation of the novel into many languages, and among them is the Croatian translation by Emilijo Nuić entitled Poljskom šakom u rusku bulju (2015). The text is shaped as a monologue by an autodiegetic narrator who is mostly in a state of intoxication. Frustrated young man Silny is a member of an adolescent society that lives in a residential neighbourhood in a small unnamed town, in a world full of drugs, sex and parties, with no prospects for the future. The novel depicts young people of questionable morality and value system whose lumpennihilistic worldview is built on television, magazines and the internet, and their world is portrayed in a stylization of raw and simple, primitive and grotesque language. The unconventional style of the novel was a particular challenge for translators. Like the world that it describes, the language is disorganized on different levels, hybridizing vulgarisms and colloquialisms with ideological neologisms, syntactically often inverse, deconstructing idioms, containing original metaphors and comparisons. The paper analyses the translation solutions at the level of vocabulary, syntax and stylistics of the text in relation to the original text of the novel. The degree of equivalence of the translation is examined on the basis of the works of John Catford, Eugene Nida, Antun Popović, etc. Furthermore, its adequacy (orientation towards the original culture and language) and acceptance (orientation towards the target culture and language) are taken into account. In addition, the intertextuality in the original text is explored, e.g. reference to well-known quotations from literature and song lyrics, as well as translation strategies and techniques related to culturally-marked phenomena.
