Sergey Ilyin translations. BBC Russian Service – Information Services

Translator Sergei Borisovich Ilyin died tonight at the age of 68. He was born in Saratov on December 18, 1948. Graduated from the Faculty of Physics of Saratov University with a degree in theoretical physics. He worked as a teacher of physics and astronomy, and a programmer at a closed research institute. Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. He began translating fiction (by Nabokov) in 1983 for his wife Elena, who did not read English. He is known primarily for his translations of the English-language prose of the same Vladimir Nabokov, published in the collected works of the Symposium publishing house. The first translation was Nabokov's novel Pnin. Then he translated White, Wilder, Heller, Buckley, Dunleavy, Kelman, Cunningham, Mervyn Peake, Stephen Fry, Mark Twain and others. He was published in the magazines “Ural”, “Znamya”, “Foreign Literature”, “New Youth”. Prizes from the Znamya Foundation (1999), Illuminator (1999).

Below is the text of the interview that Sergei Ilyin gave to Elena Kalashnikova in 2002. It was published in Russian Journal.

S.I.: Is it easy for me to fit in, etc. - It’s hard for me to judge. It seems that without much effort. But what does it mean: “fit into the style”?

RJ: Do you listen to the opinions of your colleagues, or do they for the most part biased because competitors?

S.I.: It so happened that I see my colleagues extremely rarely and do not discuss craft issues. Yes, I don’t know many people. Luckily, I didn’t have to read my colleagues’ reviews of my works.

RJ: Is it everyone? own translations Are you happy?

S.I.: No, not all. And especially with all sorts of stories that I’m not good at.

RJ: Why then do you take them on?

S.I.: I took up the stories when I was translating Nabokov. This was my second or third attempt at translation - since then I have reworked them several times, but, in my opinion, I have never completed them. Then I tried to translate other authors, maybe two turned out.

RJ: Which ones?

S.I.: “Lila, the Werewolf” and also “Come, Lady Death” by Peter Beagle.

RJ: According to Max Nemtsov, who read “Lila, the Werewolf” to his family in your translation, the story fits perfectly with the voice, it is natural, like breathing, nothing superfluous. “It seemed to me then close to ideal”... But it turns out that the short genre is not your thing?

S.I.: Not mine. A long genre is a machine that, from a certain moment, pulls you along, you adjust the beginning to what happens next, you redo everything several times. And in short genre As soon as I caught my breath, the distance was already over.

RJ: Maybe that’s why, in order to get into the author’s rhythm, you need to take several of his works? Or does the rhythm change from piece to piece?

S.I.: In different ways. I haven't translated a lot from one author. I had a unique experience with Nabokov, but it is easy to translate in the sense that you can look into his Russian texts and try to construct something similar. As for my translations of one author, these are three novels by White (strictly speaking, seven, but five are combined into one book), two novels by Coetzee, two by Heller; a novel and two stories by Beagle - I wanted to translate some more from it, but, in my opinion, it is already in Russian.

RJ: Which translations of yours are you especially pleased with?

S.I.: It seems to me that it turned out to be “Autumn in St. Petersburg” by Coetzee, “Pale Fire”, “The True Life of Sebastian Knight” by Nabokov. I won’t say that Nabokov’s other translations are extremely bad, but these two are my favorites. I am also pleased with Heller's two novels, one of which has not yet been published. A wonderful novel about King David - the narrator is dying, conceals last words Michelangelo, Shakespeare, who stole all the plots from him, and his son, a complete fool, the future King Solomon. The book is filled with quotations from Scripture, not to mention Shakespeare, Coleridge, Milton - and all of them are unquoted.

RJ: Have you looked for translations of the quoted fragments?

S.I.: It’s easier with the Bible - I have a Russian and an English Bible on my computer. In other cases, English quotation books help. It's good if there is a link...

RJ: What if not?

S.I.: As a rule, quotes still stick out from the text, although, probably, not all are found, depending on your luck.

RJ: Max Nemtsov: “I approach the text from the point of view of sound...” V.S. Muravyov: “The rhythmic approach to translation seems to me to be the most fruitful.” What is important to you in the text?

S.I.: I can’t say. In a good text, everything is important - sound, rhythm, vocabulary. Perhaps it’s still rhythm.

RJ: Vadim Mikhailin: “...first I read the text in its entirety, several times, in order to set the teeth on edge at first perception, when you are mainly looking at the plot, the dynamics of the characters, in order to get to the language. Sometimes you translate fragments from different places". How do you do it?

S.I.: I read the text in its entirety and then try to keep the “on edge” that Vadim talks about. The plot and so on, generally speaking, don’t interest me that much.

RJ: What does “set your teeth on edge” mean to you?

S.I.: I wrote about this. In 1998, I turned 50, and I wrote something called “My Life with Nabokov,” and in 1999, for the centenary of Nabokov’s birth, it also came in handy. “Something” is a letter to my then close friend Oleg Dark, he worked at Nezavisimaya and asked me to write something about translation. He soon left there, the text was not published, but in 1999 they remembered him. The first impression, right or wrong, is the strongest, and translation, as I understand it, is an attempt, mainly for myself, to reproduce it in another language. If six months later, looking at the text, you remember how it was the first time, it means the translation was a success.

RJ: N.M. Demurova, for example, translated many things, but her name is associated with Carroll’s “Alice”. Do you consider yourself - by and large - a “translator of Nabokov”?

S.I.: Not much time has passed, it’s hard to judge, but the very formula “Nabokov’s translator” is starting to stick. Recently I spoke at the Russian State University for the Humanities - Grisha Kruzhkov, an old acquaintance of mine, invited me to his translation seminar and introduced me as a “translator of Nabokov” - I got angry and asked from now on to call me simply “translator”. And whose - it will be seen there. I have a new “project” in the works right now.

S.I.: Mervyn Peake is best known as the author of three novels, although he seems to have five, and he also has poetry, a room of graphic works in the Tate Gallery.

RJ: Why is he interesting to you?

S.I.: This very “set on edge” that Vadim spoke about.

RJ: Did you want to translate it yourself or did someone suggest?

S.I.: There was such a publishing house "North-West", I received my first orders there - while I was preparing to publish Shakespeare... what the hell is Shakespeare? - Nabokov. Just the first order was White's tetralogy about King Arthur, four novels - four ages, however, it later turned out that there are five books in this tetralogy... White is one of the pillars on which fantasy literature stands, besides him there are also Tolkien and Mervyn Peake, who did not write any fantasy and fell into this company as a fool. When the Tolkien boom began to subside in the USA, American publishers began to look for a new author. At that time Peak was dying in an insane asylum... I didn’t know anything about him: “What kind of Peak?” - I ask. And Sasha Kononov: “Yes, such Kafka’s Castle, only not without an entrance, but without an exit.”

RJ: Do you like Kafka?

S.I.: Long and lasting. At that time, I was just getting ready to go to Koktebel, took a volume of Pika from the library on Ulyanovskaya, and read the first novel with complete rapture on the beach. It doesn’t look like Kafka at all, in style it’s more like Dickens, Gogol, Edgar Poe; there are a lot of details, some insignificant episode - “Vanya passed” - takes up two pages.

RJ: Like Proust.

S.I.: Maybe. I rushed to Sasha: “I want to translate Pika.” And they had already ordered a translation from a St. Petersburg sinologist, it was Sasha’s idea - Pieck was born in China, the whole life of Gormenghast Castle is built on the daily performance of complex meaningless rituals, in these kind of Chinese ceremonies... Then the publishing house fell apart, and I sat down to translate Pieck for myself, two I translated the novel, and now I’ve started the third one. I hope they will appear in the Symposium.

RJ: There were works that you wanted to translate, but for some reason it didn’t work out - were you disappointed or something else?..

S.I.: Beagle’s first novel, “A Quiet, Calm Place.” He wrote it in the early 60s, at the age of 18, under a blanket in a student dormitory. In a Catholic cemetery, a love story unfolds between two dead people, one of them is a suicide, and they are separated, a man who has lived in the cemetery for 20 years tries to help them - he is afraid to go outside the gate, he tried once, but returned. Recently it turned out that a translation of this novel is being published somewhere or has already been published - and this is death: the second translation is published rarely or after many years. I translate some books because I need it, say, Nabokov, Peak, but here there was no such feeling. Generally speaking, I am not a translator at all. By education I am a theoretical physicist, the theory of relativity and so on.

RJ: So translation came into your life thanks to Nabokov?

S.I.: This is a historical anecdote: It was 1982. (I came to Moscow in 1975, I’m from Saratov, like Vadik Mikhailin. I studied in Dubna, in graduate school, and also read more and more books, there was a luxurious library.)

RJ: Were you already familiar with Kruzhkov then? He studied at the Institute of High Energy Physics in Protvino.

S.I.: No. Grisha is an experimental physicist, it seems, and I am a theorist, these are different football teams, and besides, he is older than me, and when we met in Moscow, I was a software engineer, and he was already translating Keats for Literary Monuments. Compared to Saratov, there were incomparably more books in Moscow. And when I read “Russian” Nabokov, I immediately fell head over heels in love with him.

RJ: What was the first thing you read?

S.I.: “Invitation to Execution”, “Mashenka”, “The Gift”. So: my friend Lyalka, Galperin’s student, who has been teaching at the Institute all her life foreign languages, now Linguistic University. Maurice Thorez, a good English library, I re-read almost all of it - and developed the habit of English reading. At that time, she was offered a hack job: to teach the Russian language to a group of American students. When they left, they left her with books that they had bought for the trip in order to quickly learn something about Russia; one of them happened to have Nabokov’s Pnin. It always seemed to me that Nabokov was cold with his characters, with the exception of himself in the role of Godunov-Cherdyntsev, but in Pnin everything was unusually warm - and I sat down to translate it for my wife. Back then I didn’t even suspect the existence of English. phraseological dictionary- and Nabokov, although rarely, uses idioms and some linguistic cliches - especially when conveying the speech of a vulgar person... Lyalka corrected something in my translation and returned it to me on New Year's Eve - I was just in New Year's Eve got poisoned and started processing it without getting out of bed. Later I exchanged through a friend - from an Iranian or Algerian who collected our scientific literature, which cost a penny here - "Bend Sinister" and a collection of Nabokov's stories; I borrowed “The True Life of Sebastian Knight” from my friends. And off we go - I translated everything in about 15 years. Over time, my skills developed, I began to acquire dictionaries, searched second-hand booksellers for English books, there were three such stores - on Kachalov and Academician Vesnin streets, and also “Akademkniga” on Pushkinskaya Square.

RJ: This is probably more of a theoretical question, but still... has your translation style already formed?

S.I.: If we are talking about technical skills, probably yes. But the vague feeling that I don’t know how to translate remains to this day, and I’m still waiting for an attentive reader to come and ask: “What are you doing here, good man?”

RJ: Well, everyone probably has this feeling.

S.I.: My suspicions on this matter are more justified than others. My English is like a one-way street - from English into Russian and only written, I almost don’t perceive it by ear. The same Vadik Mikhailin graduated from the philology department of our university, and not from the physics department, like me. True, Golyshev, and Kruzhkov are also techies...

RJ: Also Motylev, Babkov... Did you have to somehow change the author’s style or write in translation “under such and such”?..

S.I.: I did this thing once with Coetzee’s “Autumn in St. Petersburg.” The magazine "Foreign Literature" asked to comb the conversations in the novel "like Dostoevsky." I, as they say, refreshed my memory of what was written by Dostoevsky up to “Demons” inclusive - the novel ends with Dostoevsky beginning “Demons”. You can’t write what he’s like, but to make it look like it, I tried it. And then I read a review on the Internet: “The author’s penetration into Dostoevsky’s style is amazing...” I assure you that Coetzee has no penetration: chopped phrases, all in the present tense.

RJ: Translators often say that they are looking for an analogue of the stylistics of the translated work in Russian literature, - you too?

S.I.: Probably not. What for? Authors XIX centuries should look like the authors of their time, and if you look for analogues, then not among our brightest of that time, because they are too bright - well, maybe read Pisemsky. In general, it all depends on the author.

RJ: Do you immediately understand that you want to translate this or that text?

S.I.: By the end of the first third, approximately. It happens - the beginning is interesting, but by the time you get to the end, the text will already stretch your legs twice. Now, perhaps, I’ll get around to translating a book by Kellman, a Booker winner, even though it’s written almost in the Scottish dialect and is stylistically similar to Venichka Erofeev. With him everything is clear right away.

RJ: So, when translating, you will focus on “Moscow-Petushki”?

S.I.: Maybe we’ll have to find it. There were about 10 Cockerels in the house, but they all scattered.

RJ: Did the translated text influence you?

S.I.: Any mystical phenomena? When I was translating "Sebastian Knight", the weather was the same sunny as today, 8th floor, the balcony was open, usually 2-3 butterflies were circling in the room - and then they flew... I'm not prone to mysticism, but I remember this episode .

S.I.: Rather, for certain authors - for Joyce. There are also genres that it is better not to mess with. I took up a romance novel once, I won’t do it again, as well as openly popular literature, - just then they cleared me out of work, and I ran in all directions at once.

RJ: And women?

S.I.: For myself, I translated the stories of Patricia Highsmith - and I would like to continue, but I see: here in the store there is my favorite "Mr. Ripley." Yes, there is also such a serious lady who wrote under a pseudonym, Isaac Dinesen.

RJ: In your opinion, the fate of the second and third translation usually does not work out?

S.I.: It usually turns out to be difficult. For example, magazines have a strict rule: if a translation or fragment has been published somewhere, it is no longer published. The wonderful magazine "New Youth" dared to publish "Transparent Things", which by that time had already been published in " Fiction" - "Translucent Objects." A volume by Woody Allen has now been published in the Symposium, in which I am also participating - some of the stories there have been translated, probably several times, the publishing house simply selected what turned out better.

RJ: Are you close to Woody Allen?

S.I.: Very much. He only wrote three collections, I had one of them in my hands - there are parodies of genres: memoirs of Hitler’s personal hairdresser, a detective story, a play, memories of fictional “great philosophers” - and so on...

RJ: Do you read the works of your colleagues?

S.I.: I try not to read other translations of Nabokov and, in general, books that I read in English. A sore throat that has turned into tartar is yours, but here they are trying to implant someone else’s tartar into you. But there are exceptions: I read with great pleasure Golyshev’s translations from Dashel Hammett.

RJ: Is it possible to fall under influence?...

S.I.: It’s more likely not an influence here - you’d want to see how someone else translated something difficult place, and then quietly paraphrase it.

RJ: Did you do that or are you just guessing?..

S.I.: I think I would. Here is Mervyn Peake - a complex author, when I picked up his second novel "Gormenghast", I remembered that I had seen a Russian translation on the trays, however, the publisher did not mention that there were also first and third novels... In the novel, the characters have significant surnames, which , according to Burgess, are only acceptable in cartoons. There is a bad young man there, Machiavelli like that, Steerpike, in that translation it turned out to be Shchukovol, although then - why not Voloshchuk, after all, the translation was published in Ukraine. I don’t remember the name of the translator; in my opinion, he screwed up a bit, but the next ones have something to rely on. However, fortunately, I did not find this book; I had to make do on my own.

RJ: And how did you translate Steerpik?

SI: Not yet, so he remained Steerpike - maybe Volakul - close and does not evoke such connotations as Voloshchuk. Although, say, the name of Gormenghast Castle is also interpreted. It is possible, after all, to translate “The Count of Monte Cristo” as “Count of Christ’s Mountain” or convey something similar with a French pronunciation... But in many countries the book “Gormenghast” is known, and it cannot be completely renamed, although in the mentioned translation it was called “Castle Gormenghast” ", I suppose, to make it more attractive.

RJ: How to translate polysemantic words or surnames - give “additional” information in comments, footnotes?

S.I.: A piece from this novel was published by Foreign Literature at the beginning of the year, and a similar question arose there too. At the beginning of the publication, we provided a footnote where all significant surnames were broken down into possible English words. On the other side, funny surnames comic characters, the horde of professors who teaches the children of the castle, I tried to convey.

RJ: Surely, you have encountered the difficulty of translating names. Tell us about this side of translation.

S.I.: At first I was cheerful and cheerful and gave the names as I wanted, especially since I translated them “to the table.” Nabokov's novel "Under the Sign of the Illegitimate" got the name "The Black Line" or something, I don't remember exactly, but then I realized it.

For the same "North-West" I translated Beagle's novel "The Folk of the Air" - something like "Air Tribe", "Air Folk" - its original author's title was "The Knight of Ghosts and Shadows". The fact that this is a fantasy becomes clear only towards the middle, and so people called themselves the “Society of Archaic Entertainment” and play in the Middle Ages: guilds, knightly tournaments, a king, a witch, with whom it all begins... I called the novel “Archaic Entertainment ", but here the publisher usually decides what is best for him. However, that will happen later. The novel just lies there motionless.

In Heller's novel "God knows" this phrase is often repeated; I translated "God knows" - in Russian it is the same popular phrase as it is in English. Coetzee's novel is "The Master of Petersburg", but the meaning of the word "master" is "master" and "master". We settled on the neutral version of “Autumn in St. Petersburg”, fortunately the action takes place in the fall.

RJ: Did anyone (editors, translators, acquaintances, parents) help you when you first started translating?

S.I.: When I started, and I started, as they say, “for myself,” not at all expecting that this would become my main occupation, there was no one to help me. Yes, and I started right with Nabokov in those days when you could get a hat for him, so I didn’t stick my head out too much.

RJ: What are your favorite translated books?

S.I.: I learned to read at the age of five, I started translating at 34, and before that I read and read everything. Translated books were read simply as books. Perhaps the first ones that come to mind - apparently they are favorites - are “Through the Eyes of a Clown”, “Catcher in the Rye”, “Tristram Shandy”, “Cola Breugnon”, “Treasure Island” (of course!), Pasternak's "Hamlet" - then, not now - "Gargantua and Pantagruel", "Theophilus North", "The Name of the Rose" - and "Lolita", of course. The order here is completely arbitrary.

RJ: If you were compiling a textbook of the best Russian translations of the 20th century, whose works would you include there?

S.I.: Offhand: Lyubimova, Wright-Kovalyova, Lozinsky, Golyshev - the order, again, is arbitrary. Well, I wouldn’t forget myself.

RJ: To the question: “Do you think there are untranslatable books?” I.M. Bernstein replied: “If a book is incomprehensible to the reader, then it is untranslatable. For example, nothing good happened with the translation of Ulysses. In general, the translation of this book is partly connected with the political situation; on American radio they said: “In "Ulysses" has not yet been translated in the Soviet Union!" In my opinion, this is a book for writers. It is not known what Leopold Bloom saw on June 16, 1904 in Dublin, when he went out to buy a kidney. It is necessary to go to Dublin. It is better to let the writer go "following the path indicated by Joyce. Faulkner and the French had a great flow of impressions." Do you think there are untranslatable books, or should each book simply wait for its translator?

S.I.: There are, and the vast majority of them. If, of course, we talk about Books. "Ulysses", "Ada", "Finnegans Wake" - these are, of course, extreme phenomena, because experiments with language are already beginning there - and even with several. But Shakespeare - is he really translatable?

RJ: Do you think there is a “golden” age for translation?

S.I.: If we are talking about the age of the translator, yes, probably. Still, he is required to be somewhat well-read. I think that “gold” falls in the period from 30 to 50, when a person already has baggage and still has strength.

Excerpt characterizing Ilyin, Sergey Borisovich

Returning to Moscow from the army, Nikolai Rostov was accepted by his family as the best son, hero and beloved Nikolushka; relatives - as a sweet, pleasant and respectful young man; acquaintances - like a handsome hussar lieutenant, a deft dancer and one of the best grooms in Moscow.
The Rostovs knew all of Moscow; this year the old count had enough money, because all his estates had been remortgaged, and therefore Nikolushka, having got his own trotter and the most fashionable leggings, special ones that no one else in Moscow had, and boots, the most fashionable, with the most pointed socks and little silver spurs, had a lot of fun. Rostov, returning home, experienced a pleasant feeling after some period of time trying on himself to the old living conditions. It seemed to him that he had matured and grown very much. Despair for failing to pass an exam according to the law of God, borrowing money from Gavrila for a cab driver, secret kisses with Sonya, he remembered all this as childishness, from which he was now immeasurably far away. Now he is a hussar lieutenant in a silver mentic, with a soldier's George, preparing his trotter to run, together with famous hunters, elderly, respectable. He knows a lady on the boulevard whom he goes to see in the evening. He conducted a mazurka at the Arkharovs’ ball, talked about the war with Field Marshal Kamensky, visited an English club, and was on friendly terms with a forty-year-old colonel whom Denisov introduced him to.
His passion for the sovereign weakened somewhat in Moscow, since during this time he did not see him. But he often talked about the sovereign, about his love for him, making it felt that he was not telling everything yet, that there was something else in his feelings for the sovereign that could not be understood by everyone; and with all my heart he shared the general feeling of adoration in Moscow at that time for Emperor Alexander Pavlovich, who in Moscow at that time was given the name of an angel in the flesh.
During this short stay of Rostov in Moscow, before leaving for the army, he did not become close, but on the contrary, broke up with Sonya. She was very pretty, sweet, and obviously passionately in love with him; but he was in that time of youth when there seems to be so much to do that there is no time to do it, and the young man is afraid to get involved - he values ​​​​his freedom, which he needs for many other things. When he thought about Sonya during this new stay in Moscow, he said to himself: Eh! there will be many more, many more of these, somewhere, still unknown to me. I’ll still have time to make love when I want, but now there’s no time. In addition, it seemed to him that there was something humiliating for his courage in female society. He went to balls and sorority, pretending that he did it against his will. Running, an English club, carousing with Denisov, a trip there - that was another matter: it was befitting of a fine hussar.
At the beginning of March, the old Count Ilya Andreich Rostov was preoccupied with arranging a dinner at an English club to receive Prince Bagration.
The Count in a dressing gown walked around the hall, giving orders to the club housekeeper and the famous Theoktistus, the senior cook of the English club, about asparagus, fresh cucumbers, strawberries, veal and fish for Prince Bagration's dinner. The Count, from the day the club was founded, was its member and foreman. He was entrusted by the club with arranging a celebration for Bagration, because rarely did anyone know how to do this wide hand, it was a hospitable way to throw a feast, especially because rarely did anyone know how or want to invest their money if it was needed to organize a feast. The cook and housekeeper of the club listened to the count's orders with cheerful faces, because they knew that under no one else could they profit better from a dinner that cost several thousand.
- So look, put scallops, scallops in the cake, you know! “So there are three cold ones?...” asked the cook. The Count thought about it. “No less, three... mayonnaise times,” he said, bending his finger...
- So, will you order us to take large sterlets? - asked the housekeeper. - What can we do, take it if they don’t give in. Yes, my father, I forgot about it. After all, we need another entrée for the table. Ah, my fathers! “He grabbed his head. - Who will bring me flowers?
- Mitinka! And Mitinka! “Ride off, Mitinka, to the Moscow region,” he turned to the manager who came in at his call, “jump off to the Moscow region and now tell Maximka to dress up the corvée for the gardener. Tell them to drag all the greenhouses here and wrap them in felt. Yes, so that I have two hundred pots here by Friday.
Having given more and more different orders, he went out to rest with the countess, but remembered something else he needed, returned himself, brought back the cook and the housekeeper, and again began to give orders. A light, masculine gait and the clanking of spurs were heard at the door, and a handsome, ruddy, with a black mustache, apparently rested and well-groomed from his quiet life in Moscow, entered the young count.
- Oh, my brother! “My head is spinning,” the old man said, as if ashamed, smiling in front of his son. - At least you could help! We need more songwriters. I have music, but should I invite the gypsies? Your military brethren love this.
“Really, daddy, I think Prince Bagration, when he was preparing for the Battle of Shengraben, bothered less than you do now,” said the son, smiling.
The old count pretended to be angry. - Yes, you interpret it, you try it!
And the count turned to the cook, who, with an intelligent and respectable face, looked observantly and affectionately at father and son.
- What are young people like, eh, Feoktist? - he said, - the old people are laughing at our brother.
“Well, Your Excellency, they just want to eat well, but how to assemble and serve everything is not their business.”
“Well, well,” the count shouted, and cheerfully grabbing his son by both hands, he shouted: “So that’s it, I got you!” Now take the pair of sleighs and go to Bezukhov, and say that the count, they say, Ilya Andreich sent to ask you for fresh strawberries and pineapples. You won't get it from anyone else. It’s not there, so you go in, tell the princesses, and from there, that’s what, go to Razgulay - Ipatka the coachman knows - find Ilyushka the gypsy there, that’s what Count Orlov was dancing with, remember, in a white Cossack, and bring him back here to me.
- And bring him here with the gypsies? – Nikolai asked laughing. - Oh well!…
At this time, with silent steps, with a businesslike, preoccupied and at the same time Christianly meek look that never left her, Anna Mikhailovna entered the room. Despite the fact that every day Anna Mikhailovna found the count in a dressing gown, every time he was embarrassed in front of her and asked to apologize for his suit.
“Nothing, Count, my dear,” she said, meekly closing her eyes. “And I’ll go to Bezukhoy,” she said. “Pierre has arrived, and now we’ll get everything, Count, from his greenhouses.” I needed to see him. He sent me a letter from Boris. Thank God, Borya is now at headquarters.
The Count was delighted that Anna Mikhailovna was taking on one part of his instructions, and ordered her to pawn a small carriage.
– You tell Bezukhov to come. I'll write it down. How is he and his wife? - he asked.
Anna Mikhailovna rolled her eyes, and deep sorrow was expressed on her face...
“Ah, my friend, he is very unhappy,” she said. “If what we heard is true, it’s terrible.” And did we think when we rejoiced so much at his happiness! And so tall heavenly soul, this young Bezukhov! Yes, I feel sorry for him from the bottom of my heart and will try to give him the consolation that will depend on me.
- What is it? - asked both Rostov, the elder and the younger.

...Some amazing freedom of the author, who does what he wants and knows what he wants... (about T.H. White).
from the interview “Conversation with Sergei Ilyin about the Gormenghast trilogy”

Today we will have a conversation with one of those translators from the North-West, whose translation I liked and remembered most of all (with Elena Khaetskaya, as we know, it turned out not to be a matter of translation). From the covers you probably guessed that it would be Sergei Borisovich Ilyin. Some people know him from his translations of Nabokov, others, like me, know him from his translations of White, Peake and a little bit of Beagle. With this, he continues to delight subtle connoisseurs of the fantastic in Literature: depending on the personal perception of the fantasy genre and the reader’s experience, one can classify or not classify the named authors as this genre (that is, mix or not mix with fantasy artisans). At the beginning of the year, the famous reprint of Gormenghast (previously published by Symposium) was published in Livebook/Gayatri. And now White's new edition is coming out.

Since we already have a long-standing (2002), but very detailed interview in the Russian Journal (under the title “I’m waiting for the attentive reader to come”) of such an experienced interviewer of translators as Elena Kalashnikova, as well as a recent video “Conversation with Sergei Ilyin about the “Gormenghast” trilogy (YouTube), (I did not ask classic questions about favorite books, translations, and the like, detailed questions about the intricacies of the profession), and also asked about the latest publications. My questions are mainly limited to White's translation and publication and the fantasy series. For the rest, I refer you in advance to the two links provided.

website: Sergey Borisovich, as an example, I will give quotes from publications on the Internet about other translators and artists of the first books in the fantasy series.

Vadim Nazarov writes:

Buddy godfather One of my children knew Vladimir Grushetsky, who had just finished translating “The Lord of the Rings,” and “Physical Education and Sports” was slow to make an advance to Mikhail Gilinsky, and the smoke-stained manuscript of “The Chronicles of Corum” also ended up on my desk.
Vadim Nazarov “It’s me, Vadichka”

There is such an editor, Vadim Nazarov - a true master look for talents, both literary and artistic. He came to the department at Mukha and asked the head if there was anyone among the students who could illustrate fantasy. He pointed at me. I was extremely surprised that I was offered such a job, because back then it was not easy to get a chance and find the time to complete an order efficiently along with studying.

Sergey Ilyin: This is a long story. The translations of Nabokov I made were passed around in the second half of the 80s, including in St. Petersburg. And when North-West was started, one of its three founders, Sasha Kononov, decided that he had the opportunity to publish them. And he started looking for me. But I did not sign the translations, “for fear of the Jews.” He looked for me for a long time, despaired and abandoned me, his friend already found me - after my first publication in the Ural magazine. And the publishing house began preparing a volume with three novels. Meanwhile, Sasha, who is now “Symposium” and with whom we have been friends since then, decided to try to order me something. And since he was in charge of this same yellow series at the publishing house, he ordered White - this was my first publishing order, everything was as it should be: a test, and then we’ll see. The test went off with a bang, Sashka read it out loud at the publishing house at a general meeting - and so on, as Kilgore Trout said.

website: Who did you work with directly at the publishing house? Who was your editor?

Sergey Ilyin: Directly and only - with Sasha. White's first editor was (a Tolkien scholar, author of the article "The Early Poetry of John Tolkien" - site note), a university English teacher for whom it was her first, again - everything was her first - editorial work. The second two novels were edited by Sanya Glebovskaya, with whom I have been “again” friends since then; she herself is an excellent translator.

website: White's volume was released just at the peak of the popularity of the “yellow series” (late 1992 - 1993), 200 thousand copies. Were there any emotions that your translation appeared in it?

Sergey Ilyin: There were no “yellow” emotions; I never took this series particularly seriously. Emotions were connected with the fact that Nabokov’s volume, which had been in preparation for a long time, and four of White’s novels were published at the same time. Then Viktor Toporov predicted to me rich life- White will be reprinted and republished. Yeah.

website: Do you have a favorite White edition?

Sergey Ilyin: There are only two of them. The second one is terrible. Therefore, the favorite is yellow. True, it’s about to come out, it should have been announced in February, this will definitely be a favorite - because there are three volumes in silk, in a box and with fantastic illustrations on every page.

website: Do you have books in the series in your personal library, and if so, how many are there?

Sergey Ilyin: I now live some distance from my personal library. My son definitely has something there - Mary Stewart for sure. Not much, however.

website: Terrence H. White, Mervyn Peake, would you like to translate Lord Dunsany?

Sergey Ilyin: Alas, this is the first time I've heard about it. I'm not at all an expert on these matters. Yes, strictly speaking, both White and Peake - what the hell kind of fantasy writers are they? Excellent writers (there is also Peter Beagle) - and that’s all.

website: The most frequently discussed fantasy translations on the Internet are those of Tolkien, Zelazny, and Ursula Le Guin (“A Wizard of Earthsea”). Do you have an opinion about the translations of these authors or your favorite translations?

Sergey Ilyin: No. I read Tolkien and Ursula in the original, back under Soviet rule. (Grushetsky’s translation - right? - I looked at when I was translating “Plasticine of Rings”, and discovered a number of lacunae, although it seems to be the most thorough and simply good.) In general, as for translators, I profess the norm of Alexander Sergeevich: “people, about whom I do not judge, because I belong to them"

website: And also, as I understand from the video interview, you have started translating Gormenghast for the North-West? Can you give a little detail?

Sergey Ilyin: I didn’t translate “Gormenghast” for SZ. The same Sasha Kononov brought me to this novel, but while I was reading Titus Groan, the publishing house managed to order a translation from some sinologist. The sinologist's translation did not work out, the publishing house collapsed, and I was left with the big dream of translating these three novels. Which he carried out for ten years. And when I finished, the BBC created a series. Here, as usual, a couple of interested publishers appeared, but the third novel was published - the same Sasha Kononov, already in the Symposium. The circle is closed, as in the novel itself.

website: I also want to clarify information from your old interview for Russian Journal, where you said:

For the same “North-West” I translated Beagle’s novel “The Folk of the Air” - something like “Air Tribe”, “Air Folk” - its original author’s title was “The Knight of Ghosts and Shadows”. The fact that this is a fantasy becomes clear only towards the middle, and so people called themselves the “Society of Archaic Entertainment” and play in the Middle Ages: guilds, knightly tournaments, a king, a witch, with whom it all begins... I called the novel “Archaic Entertainment ”, but here the publisher usually decides what is best for him. However, that will happen later. The novel just lies there motionless.

What is the fate of the translation of this novel?

Sergey Ilyin: There were no changes in the fate of Beagle's novel. Lying down. A piece was once published by the magazine “New Youth”. The rest can be found using Flibusta and, it seems, Moshkov’s library.

Sergey Ilyin: It still doesn't seem to be visible. Everything you described is good and beautiful, but for the majority of people reading from e-books, neither an editor, nor a proofreader, nor the quality of the text is required, the main thing is a freebie, and also to pay? Yes, you will be run over by a horse. I think this too will pass. People for whom this very quality is important gradually sprout among other rubbish, this has always been the case, otherwise the “reading public” would not exist. Sooner or later those who will agree to buy books for the price of a pack of cigarettes will grow up. And, lo and behold, they will begin to figure out what it is that we guys are buying. Belinsky with Gogol or Bulgarin with who knows? Today Vladimir Novikov asked the pirates to present, after all, the last, seventh, edition of his book about Vysotsky in ZhZL. Hopeless, I think. Maybe the time will come when “Belinsky and Gogol will be taken from the market.” I’m unlikely to live to see them, but you, you see, will be disappointed. Which I also highly doubt. I can go on for a long time on the topic of “consumer, quality of consumed text” and so on. What's the point? The century follows its iron path. And also: what was, that will be, what was done, that will be done. And there is nothing new under the sun.

website: My traditional thanks for your time and attention.

And once again I advise you to read other interviews using the links above, as well as the links below. They are interesting. There are questions that I did not duplicate here. Keep in mind that 2007 is basically Harry Potter.

Attention! Currently the site is seriously lacking " feedback", reviews and comments. In order to understand where the site should develop next. You can leave a review in a special block at the bottom of the page, as well as on social networks. I accept ideas for the future and other help. In general, everything is listed in the “Site Help” section.
