Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the translation of Momo Kapor’s novel Notes froman Ane (Zapiski pewnej Anny). The novel translated by Hanna Kirchner was published inPolish in 1979. The Polish edition is a selection of texts from two novels – Белешке једнеАне (Notes from an Ane) and Хеј, нисам ти то причала (Hey, I Didn’t Tell You That).The language of the main character’s monologues deserves special attention. Nevertheless,the teenage character’s adventures, the relationships between young people andadults, interactions with parents and the environment, as well as the search for love,friendship and a place in life remain universal themes that continue to hold appeal forcontemporary readers.
