“And formless Chaos — neography…”
It would seem that the question, whether a translator must comprehend the meaning of words being translated, has an obvious answer: and how else? However, it turns out that in those instances where one limits oneself to transcribing the terms under translation, it is possible to avoid comprehension. Possible, but not necessary. This is shown in our article through the example of an episode from Charles Nodier’s novel The Story of the King of Bohe…
Is it or is it not she
In Tretyakov Gallery there is a portrait of a lady in a light green dress and turban, painted by Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky. In the most recent catalogue, it is labelled as the portrait of Mme de Staёl, but this attribution is accompanied by a question mark in parentheses. The identification of Borovikovsky’s model as the famous French writer Germaine de Staёl (1766–1817) arose a century ago. Most likely, it was prompted by the unquestionable f…
D. Offord, V. Rjeoutski, G. Argent, Французскии язык в России. Социальная, политическая, культурная и литературная история
Si j’avais besoin de donner un titre à ma recension, je choisirais probablement Défense et illustration de la langue française. Pas n’importe quelle langue française, mais celle qui a joué un si grand rôle dans la vie de la haute noblesse russe depuis le xviiie siècle. Ce grand rôle est d’ailleurs un des lieux communs qui nécessitent une analyse objective, et cette analyse est faite par les auteurs de la monographie. La lutte contre les lieux com…
Alexander Turgenev’s diary and Chaadaev’s first Philosophical Letter
The diaries and correspondence of Alexander Turgenev, to this day published only fragmentarily, contain important information on the early, pre-publication history of Petr Chaadaev’s First Philosophical Letter and the first stages of the heated debate provoked by its appearance in print in 1836. The first part of the article illuminates Chaadaev’s attempts to publicize his Letter in France in the mid-1830s. Because of his deep, well-established t…
“Nowadays Most Canards Are Imported From the Russian Empire”
The first part of the article examines the background of the concept of ‘canard’, applied in France to popular non-periodical publications which reported incidents (often fictional), and to fictional news published in political daily newspapers. According to the testimony of various writers, including Balzac, such fictional news (‘canards’) in the first half of the nineteenth century was often associated with Russia. The second part of the articl…
The culture of footnotes
At the end of the 18 th -beginning of the 19 th century Russian men of letters often provided their own creations, both prose and poetry, with footnotes. Peter Ivanovich Shalikov (1768 or 1767 -1852) was no exception; he enthusiastically commented both on his original works and on the texts that he translated. Among the latter were two books by FranoisRen de Chateaubriand, Itinerary from Paris to Jerusalem (1815-1816) and Recollections of Italy, …
Diverses recensions
Plus que d'une tude scientifique au sens strict, l'ouvrage de Monique Slodzian relve de l'essai critique, marqu par une libert de ton surprenante, qui tourne parfois la fronde, voire au manifeste. Sa principale qualit est sans doute de mettre en lumire de jeunes crivains russes assez peu connus en Occident, bien que leurs oeuvres soient de plus en plus traduites : Zakhar Prilepine, Sergue Chargounov, Guerman Sadoulaev, Roman Sentchine, Mikhal Eli…
Journal, lettres, chronique culturelle
Дневник и письма как культурная хроника : случай Александра Тургенева (1784-1845) В статье анализируются неизданный фрагмент из парижского дневника Александра Тургенева (1784-1845) и его неизданное письмо к П. Я. Чаадаеву от того же числа – 17 сентября 1835 г. В дневниковой записи Тургенев перечисляет темы, которые более подробно раскрыты в письме. Этот пример, далеко не единственный в наследии Тургенева, показывает, каким образом его дневник и п…
La Russie en 1839 du marquis de Custine et ses sources contemporaines
Pendant de longues années on a présenté Astolphe de Custine surtout comme un prophète de l’antisoviétisme avant la lettre et l’analyse impartiale de son livre sur la Russie en tant que document historique était presque impossible. Plus tard, les chercheurs français ont replacé La Russie en 1839 dans son contexte historique et ont indiqué quelques-unes des sources de l’ouvrage. Pourtant ces sources se sont limitées aux travaux sur la Russie antéri…
