The Translator's Decameron by Ernst Levin can be called a book of discoveries. For many years he put his translations on the table - living in the USSR, and in Israel, and in Germany. And here is a debut (although the author is already over seventy), a daring attempt on the most recognized peaks of the translation craft - what is the new translation of Shakespeare's 66th sonnet worth! But there are also “new” Heine and Celan, Tuvim and Mitskevich in the book... And there are many accompanying new translations of weighty pebbles into the gardens of colleagues in the translation workshop... One of the most long-awaited discoveries is the appearance in Russian of the great Jewish poet Itzik Manger, who wrote in Yiddish .
