Translator’s Note: I Have Taken Liberties
TRANSLATOR’S NOTE Reader, I have taken liberties. Valdimar Ásmundsson translating Dracula into Icelandic in 1900 26,245 notes
A photographed book page contains the unusually candid note “Reader, I have taken liberties.” The joke refers to Valdimar Ásmundsson’s famously loose 1900 Icelandic translation of Dracula, humorously warning readers that the translator has substantially altered the original. It is shared as a reaction to creative adaptation, questionable translation, or taking major liberties with source material.
