Abstracts

EN

The article presents literary friendship between the poet and Karl Dedecius – the first and most important translator of his poetry into German. The article is an introduction into their voluminous correspondence. Letters that present Dedecius’ efforts aimed at anchoring Her-bert’s creativity into German language and rising in it related literature, reveal for us the figure of the poet and his half-emigrant condition. The article discusses Herbert’s poem Col-antonio – S. Gierolamo e il Leone, poem dedicated to his German translator. Saint Jerome presented in the poem is a patron and a symbol of perfection for translators. He is distin-guished not only through his titanic work, but above all through his attitude based on open-ness and courage.
