Summary/Abstract: The concept of retranslation is a relatively new in translation studies, because the activity of retraslation is quite recent. Paradoxically, translations become obsolete to a greater extent than the original texts, considering the evolution of target language et culture, but also the changes in translation norms, that’s why retranslations should give a new life to literary works. In light of that, this paper aims to prove the necessity for the retranslation of Mademoiselle Maussade by Iulia Hasdeu, on the assumption that a new version of this work could pique the interest of young readers.
