Translations

I translate literature from Latin, Ancient Greek, German, Italian, Spanish, French, English, and Russian into Polish and, occasionally, English. My main project is Goethe's poetry in Polish.

Authors I have translated include Goethe, Schiller, Schelling, the Schlegel brothers, Leibniz, François Rabelais, Jean Racine, Thomas Hobbes, William Blake, John Milton, John Donne, Giacomo Leopardi, Pietro Metastasio, Ippolito Pindemonte, Catullus, and Ovid.

I am a candidate member of STL, the Polish Literary Translators' Association, where I keep a profile.
