Abstract:

For the translator, intertexts are among chief problems posed by the source
text. Often unmarked typographically, direct or altered, not necessarily
well-known and sometimes intersemiotic, quotations and references to other
writings and culture texts call for erudition and careful handling, so that
readers of the translation stand a chance of spotting them, too.

For the reader, the rich intertextuality of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series
is among its trademark features. Consequently, it should not be missed in
translations whose success thus depends significantly on the quality of
translation of the intertexts which, as is highlighted here, cover a vast and
varied range of types of original texts.

The book focuses on how to deal with Pratchett’s intertexts: how to track them
down, analyse their role, predict obstacles to their effective translation,
and suggest translation solutions – complete with a discussion of the
translation of selected intertextual fragments in the Polish version, Świat
Dysku, a concise overview of intertextual theories, and an assessment of the
translator’s work.
