Abstract

Translating can be defined as expressing messages of the original work in a different language. The field of research of translations of children’s literature has developed in the last decades, based on Translation Studies and on children’s literature research. This thesis focuses on the Croatian translation of the novel Eragon by Christopher Paolini (2003, translated in 2004) and on the translator’s decisions which influence the original message of the novel as it is conveyed to the Croatian audience. The translator’s strategies are analysed especially in the area of translating culture, and their effects on the narrative meanings are discussed.

Abstract (croatian)

Prevođenje se može definirati kao iznošenje originalnih poruka djela na drugom jeziku. Polje istraživanja prevođenja dječje književnosti razvilo se i proširilo u posljednjim desetljećima, u osloncu na znanost o prevođenju i spoznaje o samoj dječjoj književnosti. Ovaj rad fokusira se na hrvatski prijevod romana Eragon Christophera Paolinija (izvornik 2003., prijevod 2004. godine) i na prevoditeljske odluke koje utječu na prenošenje originalne poruke romana hrvatskoj publici. Analiziraju se prevoditeljske strategije, posebno u području prevođenja kulture, I razmatra se njihov utjecaj na pripovjedna značenja.
