Budha Aadmi Aur Samudra (Hindi Translation of The Old Man And The Sea)

'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र' उपन्यास एक बूढ़े गरीब मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की कहानी है। मछली पकडऩे जाना, मछली पकडऩे की कोशिश करना, उस कोशिश में कामयाब होना, फिर इस सफलता को अंजाम तक लाने की जद्दोजहद का नाम है 'बूढ़ा आदमी और समुद्र'।

एक मछुआरे के जीवन-संघर्ष की यह दास्तान काल, समय और सीमा के बंधन से परे है। यह मछुआरा दुनिया के हर कोने में मौजूद है— अपने परिवेश से जूझता हुआ बिना किसी आक्रोश के, बिना किसी तिरस्कार भाव के। शायद यह मछुआरा एक विकसित आत्मा भी है। उसके सारे मनोभाव तात्कालिक हैं। वह समुद्र से, चिडिय़ों से और मछलियों से संवाद करता है। विषम परिस्थितियाँ उसे विचलित नहीं करतीं। उसकी जिजीविषा मरजीवड़े से कम नहीं।

प्रकृति और मनुष्य के अंतर्संबंधों को बयान करता हुआ अर्नेस्ट हेमिंग्वे का यह उपन्यास निश्चित ही एक कालजयी रचना है तो फिर हम हिंदी के पाठक इससे क्यों वंचित रहते। अस्तु! Buy Now : https://www.amazon.in/Budha-Aadmi-Samudra-Hindi-Translation/dp/9355214626

‘Gulzar is a part of my creative journey’-Namrata Datta

‘Growing up, Gulzar's lyrics were not just melodies to me; they were an intimate connection etched into my heart. As a singer, his compositions echoed through my childhood, and I found myself frequently humming his tunes. However, it wasn't just the music that captivated me; it was the enchantment woven into his words. This profound admiration for Gulzar's artistry sparked my interest in exploring his literary world, leading me to his book, 'Actually I met them.' To my astonishment, the journey took an unexpected turn when Sanjay Kumar Sanyal, a respected producer at Assam Publishing Company, presented me with a unique opportunity – to translate Gulzar's book into Assamese. The outcome was the Assamese rendition named 'Smritir Manuhbor.' The unveiling ceremony was graced by Mumbai's screenplay writer and director, Akashaditya Lama, alongside Kolkata's Ranjan Ghosh.’

Subham Panseshwar delved into a conversation with Namrata Datta about the book and her fascinating journey of creativity.

Q: How did your foray into writing begin?

Namrata: My journey into writing commenced during my school days, although initially, I never envisioned sharing my creations with the world. Singing occupied the forefront of my pursuits at that time. After marriage, a serendipitous encounter with La Rochefoucauld's 'Maxim' ignited an unplanned translation journey, fueled by a growing attachment to the book.

Fate intervened when I met Mr Jiten Deka, a senior publisher from Nalbari, who, after a brief discussion about books, requested a manuscript. His unwavering confidence became a pivotal catalyst. Completing the translation and handing it over to him, I soon discovered a report in the weekly newspaper Sadin, acknowledging the Assamese translation of 'Maxim' by me. It was a report by Bedabrat Bora. This unexpected recognition was a gratifying milestone.

Q: Tell us about your original writing.

Namrata: Inspired by Keshab Mahanta's Assamese lyrics, I harboured a fervent desire to unravel the untold stories behind those melodious tunes. Approaching him, he generously agreed to share his insights, culminating in the creation of 'Priyatama ei Jivan.' The book garnered positive feedback. Additionally, I authored a novel titled 'Kathopakatha,' derived from a distinctive Sunday program I conceptualized for a local FM channel. It was a fictional narrative in the form of conversation. Curated songs were inserted in between the conversation to enhance the situation and the mood of the narrative. Rituparna Das, a distinguished broadcaster and playwright-director, lauded the program's form and content. Later, I expanding this concept into a novel. Mr Das hosted the book release event. Pervez Ahmed, a filmmaker, and my school friend, even translated parts of the novel into an English film under the title ‘Cherrypicker’, now available on mxplayer.

Q: You wrote a book on Assamese Lyrics and the Freedom movement. Could you share more about this book?

Namrata: This book emerged from a research project that earned me a Senior Fellowship from the Indian Government's Department of Culture. Titled 'Reflection of India's Freedom Movement in Assamese Lyrics,' it proved to be a laborious yet profoundly fulfilling undertaking.

Q: What about your book on Modoji's Maan Ki Baat?

Namrata: The concept for this book originated from Sanjay Kumar Sanyal. We meticulously selected excerpts from Modiji's 'Mann Ki Baat,' focusing on social responsibility, community development, success stories, and innovative ideas evident in his speeches. I firmly believe these speeches unveil the leader's inner spirit, philosophy, and administrative approaches. The resulting book, titled 'Mor Priya Deshbashi,' is an essential read for those seeking to understand the man behind the Prime Minister.

Let me add one line more, I translated some poems by GulzarJi and those were published in book form by a prestigious publication house of Assam- Journal Emporium. The title of the book is ‘Gulzaror Kabita’ (Poems by Gulzar). That was probably first translation of Gulzar in Assamese book form.

Beyond her writing journey, her career has taken diverse paths, from being a casual announcer and news reader at Akaswani and Doordarshan to transitioning into private TV channels and FM radio. She has also worked in newspapers and magazines. Presently, her active involvement in social work. Her projects includes co-authoring a book with my husband - , titled 'Pati, Patni and Bandhabi (Man, woman and Girl Friend).' And household hacks for working women titled Gharuwa Diha (Household Tips).

Here: If you plan to do a quick reading on this compilation of essay to be exact then drop your plan - I suggest! The 21 essays on translation written in this book aren't something you'll read in a glance. It's simply because they'll take you to the world of (literary) translation from both personal and professional perspectives. I sound a little bit like Bloom but I couldn't help myself but raise this question, “Shall we see (or enjoy) a piece of translation aesthetically or seeing the meaning behind each translated word written there which lead us to an ideological perspectives. I have given an example of how political and ideological a translation could be on my previous post on this book. I also mentioned Burton’s translations as an example which is also mentioned several times in this book. Yet I cannot neglect that there are plenty of literary translated works that I fall simply because of its translations. Here’s an example: Some of my #TiltedAxisTeam friends told me that Hamid Ismailov’s are not easy to be understood even they’re translated into English. In my case, I do fall for Ismailov simply because I can convey and relate to what he wrote through the English translation. Another example: I always adore Marguerite Duras! I always have my head over heels when it comes to Duras. But I do enjoy reading the translated version of L’amant - the Lover. I stock each word there as I put my heart on sleeve. Another interesting point is how this book points to the discussion of decolonisation through literary translation. An example is the translation of the Arabic words and the works of my love- a Saint Lucian poet Derek Walcott. Will elaborate more on the review on this book in my personal platform. Will keep you updated.

These workshops truly highlighted what this summer school is about: allowing people with a passion to come together, and strengthening the community of literary translators – a job which, as everybody I have spoken to underlined, can be very tough and lonely. Lonely was the opposite of what the whole week was like: there was a lot of laughter, fun, smiles...

Why Is Literary Translation Job Considered As A Challenge By Many?

Italian, English or Chinese, translating literary works is not at all easy. Whether it is for making another book in different language or any adaptation for any film or thereat, Literary Translation is the most challenging job for even the experts in translation. This is due to the fact that literary works involve the writers and reader’s response and feeling about the literary piece. That means a translator does not only need to know the correct terminology and the meaning, but must also know the feeling that the writer wants to convey to the readers through the words and phrases. This surely is a difficult endeavor.

The volume and other factors

Literary translation is also considered to be difficult due the large volume of a single literary piece. Whether it is a drama, a prose or a dramatic poetry, translating it in other languages needs to give shape to the reader’s understanding no matter to which part of the world they belong. Moreover, literary works have different other fields such as history, philosophy, and politics. Handling a piece that contains thousands of words running through hundreds of pages require patience and experience. It is not recreating the work in another language but simply changing the dialects appropriately.

Remain true to the original

The balance the translator needs to maintain in literary translation is perhaps one of the biggest challenges. The translator must remain true to the original text but make sure that the completed project is unique and it evokes similar responses as the source text. In this type of job even a single word can change the entire meaning of the text and make the translation inaccurate. The translator must know the specific reason why the author has chosen a particular word so that it is delivered rightfully in the target language. Each work will have different meanings in different language and no direct translation of the source text will help in any way.  

Most common mistakes

There are a few common mistakes that a professional translator must avoid in literary translation so that the real feeling and emotion of the source text is captured in the target language. In order to make sure that the soul of the book is not lost in translation Quality Literary Translation Services will avoid translating word for word or even exaggerating or over-emphasizing on a particular word or phrase. They will not depend much on translation tools and never overlook cultural differences.
