Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the way in which the translations and self-translations of Xavier Benguerel’s novels are related to the publishing market in Barcelona during the postwar period. First, Berenguel’s own poetic translation method (applied both to his own work and to that of others) is analysed. There then follows a general evaluation of his self-translations into Spanish. When carrying out the analysis the following factors are taken into account: a) historical conditioners which make the creative task (writing of originals and translation, and their subsequent publication) more difficult; b) the evolution of a publishing market in Barcelona in the 1960s and 1970s, which gave visibility to the Catalan literature of the post-war period.
