The book offers a view of the translation of a literary text as a
reconstruction of the non-standard linguistic worldview embedded in
that text, and emerging from the standard, conventional worldview
present in a given language and culture. This translation strategy
(and the ensuing detailed decisions) is explained via the metaphor
of two icebergs, representing the source and target texts as
iceberg tips, resting on the vast foundations of the source and
target languages and cultures. This thesis is illustrated by
analyses of English translations of two poems by Wislawa
Szymborska, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner: "Rozmowa z kamieniem"
(Conversation with a Stone/Rock) and "Chmury" (Clouds).
