Les éditions croates d’À la recherche du temps perdu (I)

The author analyses the four Croatian editions of Combray in light of the translation theories of Berman, Meschonnic, Ricœur, and Eco. Applied to versions by de Miroslav Brandt (1981/1952), Zlatko Crnković (1996), Svevlad Slamnig (1997), and Mate Maras (2004), this examination seeks to identify the micro and macro-strategies which emerge as much from each translator’s own poetics as from their reading of Proust. The objective is to ponder the “relevance” (Derrida, 1999) of each translation.
