Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to describe the rendering of the ‘discreet poetic form’ of several of Zbigniew Herbert’s poems from the volume Raport z oblężonego Miasta in their English and German translations. Comparing the translators’ achievements in this respect and the semantic costs of such efforts, the author tries to reconstruct their priorities, assess their translational skills – and find the reasons for their different or similar performances.
