Abstract

LOVE IN THE SHADOW OF TRAUMA IN THE NOVEL LE MORT QU’IL FAUT BY JORGE SEMPRÚN AND ITS TRANSLATIONS INTO SPANISH AND POLISH

Testimonies of concentration camps prisoners are usually exceptionally emotional. The ways of expressing feelings in this kind of writings is a relatively little explored issue, and the existing case studies focused on linguistic markers of negative emotions, such as horror, despair and gloom. However, the range of feelings expressed in the memories of the survivors is much wider and includes also emotions such as friendship, love, and compassion. The article analyzes excerpts from Jorge Semprún’s novel Le mort qu’il faut, particularly those which show feelings for a woman, and their translations into Spanish and Polish. The purpose of the analysis is to list the techniques used by specialists to translate these passages and to evaluate to what extent they managed to convey their emotional temperature.
