Alcune considerazioni sugli eccessi dell’autocensura dell’impudico nella traduzione in rumeno del romanzo Venuto almondo di Margaret Mazzantini

This article presents the effects of the translator’s self-censorship on the reading of a contemporary Italian novel that has been deprived of all vulgar and licentious terms. Discarding as irrelevant the question of whether the translator’s action is an attempt to please society or a result of her private sense of prudery, my intention is to inventory and comment on the differences between the original and the translated text, in order to reveal and thus somehow undo the effects of censorship and to bring justice to the writer and her work.
