Abstract
The article discusses the problems that faced the English translator of Balys Sruoga's Forest of the Gods, a novel written immediately after World War II and based on the author's experience as a prisoner in the Stutthof concentration camp. The article shows that, largely owing to the translator's choices in rendering culture-specific concepts and expressions, the original and the translation may acquire different kinds of standing in the literary-historical process.
