Comentário à tradução para o espanhol de três contos de Noite na taverna, de Álvares de Azevedo

Abstract

Noite na taverna, by Álvares de Azevedo (1831-1852), is divided into seven short stories, the first and the last working as prologue and epilogue. The others are narrated by five boys who give names to the tales. The mysterious stories, involving love and death, are tetrical and tragic. The work, which is classified as a fantastic/gothic narrative, and which has not yet been published in its entirety in the Spanish language, has the translation (our translation) of three of his short stories - "Solfieri", "Gennaro" and "Último Beijo de Amor" - published in academic journals. In this article, we comment, through some excerpts, as it was translated in the opposite pair, from Portuguese to Spanish - giving due care to the socio-cultural circulation between languages - some stylistic and cultural aspects related to the 19th century, found tales that led us to a reflection on the choices. To achieve these goals, we sought to rely mainly on Even-Zohar, Berman and Peter Burke.
