Abstrakt

Reception of the translations of the works by two German authors of books for children is our research topic and we focus on the reception in the Czech environment. In case of Erich Kästner we mainly deal with the book Emil a detektivové. As far as Otfried Preussler’s work is concerned, we analyse mainly the book Loupežník Hotzenplotz as in this case several translations circulate. Comparation of these translations reveals interesting insights into Czech translation techniques in the field.
