Abstract

This article analyses Malina by Ingeborg Bachmann, focusing on its structure, themes, reception and translation into Polish. The author discusses the challenges faced by translator Sławomir Błaut, emphasising his fidelity to the original, linguistic precision and ability to convey Bachmann’s poetic and fragmentary style. The text indicates that the difficult language, literary innovation and cultural differences influenced the niche reception of the novel in Poland, despite its high artistic and research value.
