La carta robada de Edgar Allan Poe según Jorge Luis Borges y Adolfo Bioy Casares

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article aims to carry a contrastive analysis of the translation of Edgar Allan Poe’s tale written in 1844, The Purloined Letter, created by Jorge Luis Borges in collaboration with Adolfo Bioy Casares in 1943. This translation exemplifies the correlation between translation and the reception of the original text within a concrete sociocultural and historical context. We will approach, from a comparative perspective, to the strategy used by the Argentinian writers. For that extent, Jorge Luis Borges’ essays about translation and the studies made by Emron Esplin (2016) and Efraín Kristal (2002-2011) will guide our examination of diverse segments. They modified and omitted elements from the original to serve a specific purpose, which is, in fact, to establish Poe as the father of the detective genre in the Spanish-speaking world as well as to legitimate the genre itself.
