Summary/Abstract: When the novel A Passage to India by E.M.Forster had been translated into Italian, the critic Claudio Gorlie r published a condescending review of the work of translator Adriana Motti. At this time, Italo Calvino was an editor in the publishing house E i naudi that had released the book. In response he wrote a letter in which he not only defended Adriana Motti’s decisions, but also took a snapshot of the publishing situation in Italy, as well as of the faults in the critical approach to translation assessment in principle.
