Abstract (EN)

In this work we dealt with the literature translation which acquaints differentnational cultures, guarantees a dialog between the cultures, and which has a veryextensive language.At the beginning of our work we described our purpose and our approach.Next we put up the hypothesis of the strengthening of the translation effect whiletransferring into the other culture in the translation of literary texts of a linguisticmanner typical for a culture.To prove our hypothesis, we used translations of different translators whotransferred the works of Max Frisch, a contemporary known German author, intoTurkish.Besides, we described that aesthetics increasing expressions, profundities,overlapping statements, metaphors, doublings, briefly several linguistic plays wereused in literary texts to make the language more extensive and to add an artisticsublime to the texts.We mentioned elements of a language which are typical for one language andculture and cannot be found in the other culture. Accordingly we worked out inregard of scientific literature what translators must do not to tear the literaryaesthetics and the artistic value of texts which have to be translated.In the expiry of our research we compared the original text and the result text,the translation result. At the end of our comparison we found out that exactly thelinguistic means described above presented difficulties in the translations. Thusavailable expressions sometimes were not subjoined in the original text or statementswere shortened and therefore a destruction of the aesthetics and the artistic value ofthe work took place.We made clear that the use of the wealth of a language named above is nottaken into consideration sufficiently in textbooks used for foreign linguisticeducation and that it is necessary, therefore, that foreign linguistic students also useliterary texts in their education and we presented concrete solution suggestions.
