Abstract
The article concerns the two Polish translations of The Leopard (Il Gattopardo): The first one by Zofia Ernstowa, published in different editions since 1961 under the title of Lampart, and the second one by Stanisław Kasprzysiak, published in 2009 under the title of Gepard. The analysis concentrates first on the way in which the paratexts (all kinds of notes) within these publications deal with the references to the Risorgimento (presenting this novel to a new public belonging to a different culture, with a growing distance from those historical events); and then on a comparison of a few fragments of the novel, in the different Polish and Italian versions, which contain allusions to Italian history. This presentation of the Polish reception of the Lampedusa’s masterpiece is completed by some considerations on the position of the second translator with respect to the first translation, and on the role played by the critics.
