Польские культурные мотивы в «Куда ж нам плыть?» Бориса Акунина и в переводе повести на польский язык
Polish Cultural Motifs in “Where Shall We Go?” by Boris Akunin and in the Polish Translation of the Novel

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the results of translators’ individual choices in the process of transmitting Polish culture-specific elements from a Russian text to Polish culture. The source material was taken from the novel “Where shall we go?” by Boris Akunin and its translation into Polish. During the analysis, a comparative-descriptive method was used. The different ways of transferring units in a situation when stylisation concerns the language into which the translation is made, especially in such a specific situation as “double” stylisation are discussed. As a result of the analysis, it is possible to assess the extent to which the translator's decisions made it possible to convey cultural connotations and preserve in the translation text the functions performed by the considered translation units in the original text.
