In one time, the French writer and thinker Francois Rene de Chastroan said about the geniuses of world literature: Often from these greatest teachers, they repeat, rise against them ... blame them in bitchness, longs, oddities, while trusting them and decorating Himself the trophies kidnapped with them. But attempts to overthrow their yoke are in vain. Everything is painted in their colors, their influence is noticeable everywhere: they invented words and names enrich the dictionary of all nations, their statements become proverbs, fictitious with them characters acquire life, be seized by heirs and offspring. They open up new horizons, and the rays of light splatter from darkness, thousands of others grow out of the ideas, they give images, plots, styles to all arts. Their works are an inexhaustible source, the most subsidy mind of humanity.
This is about Homere in Greek literature, about Shakespeare - in English, in the Italian, of course, about Dante, "Divine Comedy" is a comprehensive image of a human soul, her passions and dramatic tests.
"In each developed culture, the classic monuments of past literature should not exist in one, but in several translations. Matching two or more translations, the reader can get a stereoscopic image of the original, see it from different sides".
