Abstract

The paper examines the translation of the book "Meet Bulgaria" (1931) by the American missionary R. H. Markham into Bulgarian (2024), paying special attention to the parts dedicated to folk art and literature. It problematizes the refusal to translate the folk songs and some of the proverbs back into Bulgarian, some of which were omitted in the Bulgarian edition and others were left in English. It also focuses on Markham's choice of which Bulgarian literary authors and what part of their works to present to the English-speaking reader.
