Language realia and their meanings in John Fowles’s Eliduc

Abstract

The article studies various English and French realia found in Eliduc by John Fowles, the ways of their translation into Russian, their use for a better understanding of the plot and the poetics of the story. The main difficulty any translator faces when dealing with realia is the absence of equivalents in the target language, therefore it is necessary to choose relevant translation methods.
