Dear Seelangers,
I study Russian at an Austrian university to become a translator.
In my final paper I want to compare two translations of Ajtmatov's novel
'Belyj parachod'. The translations are from Charlotte Kossuth
(Unionsverlag) and Uwe Groth (Suhrkamp Verlag).
I would be grateful for any information (except the things I find in an
ordinary encyclopedia for literature) about the author, his work,
comments on the original and the translations.
Maybe someone can give me Ajtmatov's address, too, so I could contact
him personally.
Thank you in advance, D. K.
