Summary/Abstract: In this outstanding essay, the writer, translator, and critic Vladimir Nabokov addresses the main problematic aspects of translation by offering a brief typology of interpreters and their common mistakes. The lively, ironic and often sarcastic narrative is illustrated with examples of translations of multiple masterpieces of world literature, in which the author expertly juggles between English, Russian and French. The very translation of this essay is a fascinating challenge and its semiosis naturally requires explanatory notes which have been added by the translator.
