Abstract

The article analyzes Anna Iwaszkiewicz’s essay ‘My Fontainebleau’. It fi rst defi nes the ‘cultural turn’ in contemporary humanities and relates it to the theory of literary translation, which is supralinguistic and enables the translation of parts of cultural codes or literary values. The article shows how Iwaszkiewiczowa was inspired by such authors as Marcel Proust, Joseph Conrad, Thomas Mann, and uses her work to reconstruct the translation process as internalization. Through references to Iwaszkiewiczowa’s biography, especially her feeling of unproductivity and creative powerlessness, it shows how some private reasons infl uenced her literary choices and led her to write the essay under discussion
