Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of the literary translations of three Polish-language sonnets by Yanka Kupala into Belarusian, Russian and English, performed by V. Markhel, N. Kislik and V. Rich. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of the specifics of Yanka Kupala's sonnet forms and the description of translation solutions to preserve the form and content of the original, to adequately convey the culturally marked vocabulary. It is shown that the comparative analysis of the original texts with their translations contributes to the awareness of the quality and level of the poetic skills of the author and translators, and to understanding of the problems of poetic translation.
