The subject of this thesis is the translation and translational analysis of the translation of the story Królowa żalu from the book Widmokrąg by Wojciech Kuczok. Translation of literature is a complex process that requires not only the transfer of words from one language to another, but also the transfer of the culture that shapes the meaning behind those words. The analyzed translation procedures in this paper included transposition, modulation, adaptation, adaptation to the context, paraphrase, translation of verbs of motion and translation of phrases. During the process of translation and translation analysis, the translator also encountered challenges in translating idioms that require knowing the culture from which the idiom originates and finding a suitable equivalent in the target language that will convey the meaning of the original idiom while retaining the cultural background. Translation analysis includes examples and problems that the translator encountered during the translation process, and an explanation of the solution. Translation is not just transferring words from one language to another, but requires taking into account various factors, such as context, cultural and social specificities, and translating in a way that will retain the essence of the original work. Through the process of translation and translotological analysis, new knowledge and skills were acquired in the field of literary translation, and this process requires patience, creativity and the ability to adapt.
