Summary/Abstract: This article is focused on the Bulgarian reception of Kapka Kassabova’s book „To the lake“ and on the peculiarities related to the translation process from English into Bulgarian. Notwithstanding the fact that the author collects the material for her works in Bulgarian language, which is also her mother tongue, she writes in English and only partially contributes to the Bulgarian editions of her books. Such a peculiar translation process undermines the common assertion that translated texts need to be periodically updated, since the Bulgarian translation of „To the lake“ is in part the result of a self-translation.
