In response to the interest shown in Adam Thorpe's account of translating Madame Bovary into English (an article reprinted in Footpath-5) we have decided to devote a special section to translations of modern English literature into Russian together with articles on the process of literature translation.

We also publish an article by Oliver Ready of St Antony's College, Oxford University who has translated Dostoevsky into English.

Sentiment replaces phantasmagoria: a review of Graham Swift's tomorrow
Статья научная
In a review of Graham Swift's novel 'Tomorrow', the comparative simplicity of the latter is emphasized: there are no phantasmagorias and grotesques characteristic of the earlier works of the writer, the genre of "stories as tales" is abandoned, and even irony is absent. Something that has always been serious for Swift has survived: the theme of romantically true only love and the theme of finding children. The appeal to a love story in the 60s is reminiscent of other contemporary novels - notably Ian McEwan's 'On Chesil Beach' and Hilary Mantel's 'An Experiment in Love'. Dialogue with both Faulkner and Dickens is also heard. A simple novel, but, especially in comparison with modern Russian literature, what a rest]
