Russia: The Ongoing Golden Calf Translation

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Russia, Arts & Culture, Digital Activism, History, Humor, Language, Literature

Languor Management links [1] to the site of Maciej Ceglowski and Peter V. Gadjokov [2], who are translating The Golden Calf, a 1930 Soviet classic by Ilya Ilf and Evgeniy Petrov: “Seventy years after its publication, The Golden Calf remains a cult classic among Russian readers, but it is out of print in English translation. This will be the first time in nearly forty years that The Golden Calf will be available to English speaking readers. This is a volunteer translation project, and we're making it available to readers free of charge.”
