Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the issue of the interpreter’s freedom concerning the translations of the titles of prose works. The matter seems important not only because of the necessity of reserving the title’s essential functions (identification, information, pragmatic), and not only because of the need of the complex analysis of the original title — its working relationship, but also because of the ‘ambassadorial’ role of — this title in the secondary cultural space.
