Translations
Gombrowicz's novels and plays have been translated into English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and 29 other languages. The recent English translation of Ferdydurke (by Danuta Borchardt) is generally considered very good, as is the interesting translation of Trans-Atlantyk (Carolyn French chose to translate it into faux 17th-century English).
