Nora Gal is an outstanding translator of English and French literature, whose works (Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, Camus's The Outsider, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and many others) have long been part of the treasury of domestic literature. Her major theoretical work, The Word Alive and Dead, is devoted to fiction translation and represents the quintessence of Nora Gal's experience as an editor and translator. In this work, which goes far beyond the scope of a manual for beginners, the author brilliantly and humorously plays with the richest material collected on the basis of more than half a century of work with texts, defending and protecting one of the most important assets of our culture: the purity of the Russian language. This edition also includes Nora Gal's memoirs, articles, selected letters and poems.
