A Marginal Phenomenon In The Field Of Literary Translation: Im/Possibility of Translating Literature Into A "Simplified" Version
Original language description
The present paper focuses on some of the crucial issues relating to a sort of marginal and controversial phenomenon in the field of literary translation, i.e. graded readers. This phenomenon is explored with respect to literary translation as well as thespecificity of literature and its use in the EFL classroom. Graded readers, adapted classics or just simplified versions of original readers are produced in order to make thousands of readers enjoy 'without great difficulty' the best books written in English language. Following functionalist approaches, the purpose or function of a text is the most important aspect concerning translation. Nevertheless, the question is whether it is still possible to consider the final product of the specific process oftranslation of literary language into something new, graded and 'more digestible' as literature and whether the graded readers still follow their original function, i.e. to make thousands of readers enjoy literature.
