Summary/Abstract: The translation of literature from one language to our own is very complicated work, mainly because of certain stereotypical information from a culture different than ours. That is why this article will be about the fallocentrism of Stanislaw I. Witkiewicz in the novel "Farewell to autumn" translated in Macedonian. In this novel, he does not go far from his man’s world and is always connected with the stereotypes of nationality and typical women’s behavior. He describes them as saints, mothers, lovers, and stupid beings, which is why examples of the translation of such stereotypical parts and how they appear in Macedonian translation are explored.
