Summary/Abstract: This article contributes to the growing interest in the personality and work of translators by exploring paratexts in the translations made by the literary scholar and translator Jozef Hvišč. In all his translations of Polish literature into Slovak, a specific type of peritext appears — an afterword written by him. His erudite peritexts consider translated works in a historical and critical literary context. They demonstrate the reasons why the books were published in translation and enrich the receiving culture.
