Part of the Preface from the book:
I have designed this book as a manual for practising in literary translation from English into Russian and from Russian into English. It includes texts of English, American and Russian poetry, prose and drama provided with tasks for comparison and translation. Besides, it presents pieces of Celtic and Native American folklore in English and Siberian folklore in Russian, which appears to be interesting material for comparative reading and translation. It is a practical manual, yet it includes introduction into the theory of translation, as well as some general ideas about basic principles of translating poetry, prose, drama and folklore.
