5th edition of the translation school for beginner translators of literature from Russian into Polish
Participants of the fifth anniversary edition of the school are engaged in translating a collection of short stories by Russian writer Alexei Motorov, once an employee of the intensive care unit of a Moscow hospital.
His debut collection of short stories, Юные годы медбрата Паровозова (Yunyye gody medbrata Parovozova), based on the author's recollections of his medical practice in the 1980s, was published in 2012. The protagonist of the stories is twenty-three-year-old Alexei Motorov (Parovozov is his pseudonym). Already a month after its publication, the book was named "Book of the Month" by the "Moscow" bookstore. Motorov also received the readers' prize in the "NOS" competition organised by the Mikhail Prokhorov Foundation and was shortlisted for the "Bolshaya Kniga" award.
Motorov's debut collection of short stories will soon be published in Polish!
