Literary translation and its stylistic analysis

Abstract

Unlike the painter, sculptor or composer in the fine arts and music, the writer expresses his inner world and his perception of reality through means that are not known to every individual and every people. Like a painter who has an unusual, curios visual imagery, the musician auditory imagery, the translator as an artist, must have a high degree of ability to re-create and re-present through his verbal imagery. In literary translation, aesthetic properties derive from the dense restructuration of the artistic image presented in the original text. These are certain tools of language, tools of that language in which the writer compiles his literary work. In addition, while the works and masterpieces of music, painting and sculpture have no linguistic boundaries, and even in the field of film there are times when language is not a major obstacle, the writer, poet or playwright should be aware of the obstacles and the limitations presented by the nature, subject matter and characteristics of his work to be disseminated and circulated to a wider readership. In other words, literary works, of any genre, are required to obtain a visa to travel to the outside world.
