Rola posłowia w przekładzie Herztier Herty Müller na język czeski
The Role of Afterword in the Czech Translation of Herta Müller’s Herztier

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the relevance of paratexts in translation based on the example of the afterword in the Czech translation of Herta Müller’s novel Herztier [The Land of Green Plums], titled Srdce bestie and written by Radka Denemarková, a writer and translator famous not only in her homeland. Therefore, he analyses the different functions of the afterword, especially as a commentary on the translator’s choices and, consequently, as an insight into the worldview inscribed into the original language. A particular interest is paid to the translator who, in view of her literary predispositions that are clearly visible not only in the afterword, could be described as the “second author”.
