The paper discusses the problem of translating foreign insertions in one of the Russian key cultural texts. It is argued that French insertions are translated into English in a direct way, with Russian in this case giving up its place of a source language to French. The author supports his attitude by empirical finds such as correlations between tenses of French and English insertions as well as parallel French/English syntactic structures and correspondences between metaphoric devices in French and English sentences. It is admitted that translation should be approached as a co-authored creativity of a translator and the source narrative author.
Keywords: translation, insertions, French, English, Russian, comparative analysis, source language, target language, loyalty.
