The feasibility of translating cultural elements in literary translation with emphasis on Newmark's theory

This is a research article examining how cultural concepts are conveyed in literary translation across different languages and cultures. Using translations of two works by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt from different periods as its corpus, the study analyzes the methods translators employed to render cultural elements, drawing on Peter Newmark's translation theory. It evaluates the applicability of Newmark's approach across time, examining its effectiveness through three criteria: objectives, possibilities, and obstacles.
