Emil Saudek neboli homo translatorus | Emil Saudek or Homo Translatorus

Abstract

Emil Saudek (1876–1941) became famous at his time mainly as a translator, interpreter and therefore a propagator of Březinaʼs and Macharʼs works. The sketch presented here is only an attempt — in the confrontation with parts of the preserved correspondence, handwritten notes and sketches and published texts — to observe and explain in what categories and frames he understood (his own) translation work.
