Reviews
The most prominent Soviet Sinist, one of the youngest and most famous students of academician V. Alekseev. Eidlin brought to a logical conclusion the method of translating Chinese poems in the genres "shi" and "tsy", using instead of each word-ideogram a stressed group of syllables in the Russian verse, which allows you to save even the caesura in the right place, not even rearrange the words without extreme need; By proximity to the text of the original, Eidlin brought the art of translating from Chinese to the extent that only our translators of ancient poetry had previously observed. The fact that Tao Yuan-min or Bo Ju-i in the translation of Eidlin is devoid of rhymes is a tribute to the “adequacy” coming from Alekseev, she is also a desire for accuracy; Eidlin did not consider it possible to even change the word order in the translated string. He used, however, not only dolnik, but also habitual, even bilobate sizes. [one]
