In this episode, Christopher Moseley talked about the state of the Estonian Language, Translations, his work on Minority and Endangered Languages and his Translation 'The Man Who Spoke Snakish' a Beautiful moving story of a boy who is tasked with preserving ancient traditions in the face of modernity written by Famous Estonian Author Andrus Kivirähk.

Christopher Moseley has been the General Editor of the UNESCO Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger since 2008 and is now a member of the editorial team of its successor, the World Atlas of Languages. From 2007 to 2011, he was a Teaching Fellow in Latvian at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College, London.

Originally from Australia, he came to Britain to study Scandinavian languages in 1974, but since then, his main interests have slipped eastwards to Finland and the Baltic countries. While working as a journalist and translator specialising in Baltic affairs at BBC Monitoring, Caversham, he completed a M.Phil., also at SSEES, on the dying Livonian language of Latvia – a close relative of Estonian. After 19 years’ service at the BBC, he became a freelance translator and editor in 2005. He is the author of Colloquial Estonian and co-author of Colloquial Latvian for Routledge. He has also co-edited the Routledge Atlas of the World’s Languages and edited the same publisher’s Encyclopedia of the World’s Endangered Languages and most recently the third edition of the Atlas of the world’s languages in danger for UNESCO. His most recent work is a revision of George Campbell’s Routledge Handbook of Scripts and Alphabets (2012). He translates into English from Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Finnish, Danish and Swedish.

కిష్మిష్ జూన్ నెల 'ఈమాట' వెబ్ పత్రికలో ప్రచురించారు.

https://eemaata.com/em/issues/202406/34506.html

కాథొలిక్ చర్చి సంప్రదాయం ప్రకారం, ఈస్టర్ పండుగ వచ్చే ముందు నలభై రోజుల్ని ‘లెంటు మాసం’ పేరుతో పిలుస్తారు. ఈ సందర్భంగా చర్చిలో ఉత్సవాలు జరుగుతాయి. వ్రతం పాటించాలనుకునేవాళ్ళు ఉపవాసం చేస్తూ ప్రార్థనలు చేస్తారు. ఇళ్ళల్లో ప్రత్యేకమైన వంటలు చేస్తారు. ఈ కథ రష్యన్ రచయిత్రి టెఫీ, తాను ఎనిమిదేళ్ళ పాపగా ఉన్నప్పుడు జరిగిన సంఘటన గురించి రాసింది.

నాదెజ్దా తెఫీ (అసలు పేరు నాదెజ్దా లోక్వితస్కయా) సెయింట్ పీటర్స్‌బర్గ్‌లో 1872లో జన్మించారు. ఆమె రాసిన కథలు, 1919 వేసవిలో యుక్రెయిన్ నించి ఇస్తాన్‌బుల్‌కు ఆమె బోటులో చేసిన తన చివరి విషాదకరమైన ప్రయాణం గురించి హాస్యస్ఫోరకంగా రాసిన ‘ఫ్రమ్ మాస్కో టు ది బ్లాక్ సీ’ సుప్రసిద్ధమైనవి. రష్యాలో విప్లవం ముందు రోజుల్లో తెఫీ అత్యంత ప్రాచుర్యం పొందిన రచయిత్రి. ఆమెను ప్రసిద్ధ రచయిత చెఖోవ్‌తో పోలుస్తారు. ఆమె పేరు మీద రష్యాలో సెంట్లూ, కాండిళ్ళు అమ్మేవాళ్ళట. ఆమె చనిపోయిన ఒక ఆరు దశాబ్దాలు ఆమెను దాదాపుగా అందరూ మర్చిపోయారు. దీనికి రచయిత్రుల పట్ల వుండే వివక్ష కొంత కారణం అయితే, కొంత కారణం ఆమె రచనల్లోని హాస్యం మీద మాత్రమే విమర్శకులు దృష్టి సారించి, వాటిలో వుండే భావోద్వేగపు లోతుల్నీ, అవగాహననూ పట్టించుకోకపోవటం. ఇంకొంత – పాశ్చాత్య విమర్శకులు, సోవియెట్ విమర్శకులు కూడా ప్రవాస రష్యన్ సాహిత్యాన్ని చిన్నచూపు చూడటం. ఆమె గొప్పతనాన్ని గుర్తించి, రచనలన్నింటినీ గత కొన్ని దశాబ్దాలుగా ఆంగ్లంలోకి అనువదిస్తూ వస్తున్నవారు సుప్రసిద్ధ రష్యన్ అనువాదకుల జంట రాబర్ట్ చాండ్లర్, ఎలిజబెత్ చాండ్లర్.

Our guest for this Episode is the renowned Russian Translator Robert Chandler. He delves into the world of the celebrated Russian Writer Teffi, discussing his translation of the recently released short story compilation 'The Time was no More and Essential Stories and Memories' penned by Teffi.

Robert first began learning Russian when he was 15. At 20, he spent a year as a British Council Exchange scholar in Voronezh, the city where Andrey Platonov was born and where Osip Mandelstam was exiled. It was there that he first read these two writers, who have remained precious to him throughout his life.

He has also translated Sappho, Teffi, Alexander Pushkin, Vasily Grossman, the Uzbek novelist Hamid Ismailov and the greatly undervalued poet Lev Ozerov; like Grossman, Ozerov was a Russophone Jew, born in Ukraine. He has edited and co-translated three anthologies for Penguin Classics: of Russian poetry, Russian short stories and Russian poetry. He has also run translation workshops in London and taught for an annual summer school. He has worked as a mentor to younger translators. Before deciding to translate full-time, he worked for eight years as a teacher of the Alexander Technique - a valuable discipline concerning voice, breath and movement.”
