Opowieści trzynastu tłumaczy (Travels with Ryszard Kapuściński. Stories by Thirteen Translators; Znak, 2007) Klara Główczewska, his translator into English, argues that translation is an art of mimicry. The translator imitates the voice of the original author and enjoys the thrill of such a risky enterprise. She discusses her translation of Podróże z Herodotem (forthcoming from Knopf as Travels with Herodotus): from the preparation of the annotated manuscript twice the size of the original, through the conversations with the author, to the final version which is an autonomous work in the English language.
