The viscerally haunting and politically disturbing Painted Bird,
the most famous novel by the Polish-American writer, Jerzy
Kosinski, finally receives a long overdue fresh scientific
perspective: a truly insightful study of linguistic and cultural
controversy in translation against the benchmark of a tailor-made
iron-clad methodology of such concepts as involved culture,
detached culture and the universe of the opus. The study presents
the kaleidoscopic cross section of renditions into as many as
thirteen languages, making it a pioneering elaboration of a
macrocosm of the afterlife of a translated novel and a tour de
force of comparative translation studies. The dark contents of the
work, heavily loaded with political and moral issues, vulnerable to
shifts and refractions in the process of translation, have been
analysed, unaffected by ideological sway, debunking any persistent
myths about Kosinski's harrowing work.
