BENIAMIN FUNDOIANU – BENJAMIN FONDANE AND ILARIE VORONCA: PORTRAITS OF TWO ROMANIAN-FRENCH TRANSLATORS

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes to envisage the side of the translators Fundoianu-Fondane and Ilarie Voronca, that was ignored by the specialists. As we know (or we should know), Fundoianu-Fondane and Ilarie Voronca were the assiduous practitioners of translation, especially of poetry (Fundoianu-Fondane translating from Yiddish dialect, German and French and Ilarie Voronca translating from French and Romanian). Moreover, we tried to establish the identity of the mysterious pseudonyms I. G. Ofir and I. G. Hasir, which Fundoianu published a series of poems in the press of that time. Regarding Ilarie Voronca, we showed the role of the auto-translation for him in his becoming as a poet of French expression. In conclusion, we exposed the importance of translation for the two.
