Abstract
MORAL CENSORSHIP IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF POLAND TOWARDS LITERARY TRANSLATION: THE OBSCENE MARIO VARGAS LLOSAThis article deals with the problem of moral censorship in literary translations in the People’s Republic of Poland, which is rarely discussed as researchers usually focus on political censorship. The case study is the novel The Time of the Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa. Fragments of this work which contained graphic erotic descriptions were removed from the first Polish edition. They were identified by comparing the original text and the translation, as well as subsequent Polish editions. The author suggests that research on moral censorship in the second half of the 20th century should be continued and indicates possible areas of investigation.
