Czy „glazen huizen" to nadal „szklane domy Żeromskiego"? Tłumacz a kulturowe uwarunkowania przekładu

The article outlines the problem of difficulties resulting from cultural differences encountered by the Dutch translators of two Polish novels: Ferdudyrke and Początek. Culture is present in such texts produced in a certain literary system and socio-cultural context on nearly every level and it often poses serious translation problems. The author focuses on the choices made by Gerard Rasch and Willem A. Maijer, Herman van der Klei and Chris de Ruig in order to draw conclusions concerning the consequences these decisions have and to state whether the couleur locale of the novels has been preserved. The topic in question is thoroughly analysed from the perspective of the target text reader.
