%X gregory rabassa is noted for his translations of famous latin american authors (garc¨ªa m¨¢rquez, vargas llosa, clarice lispector, jorge amado, etc.). less known are his views on translating. in this paper i aim at presenting and discussing his viewpoints as to the definition of translation (with a key discussion of the concept of equivalence), the role of the translator (a model speaker-listener of the target text), and some of the translation strategies he applies in his translational work (original's pre-eminence, problem solving, foreignizing, fictionalizing, and semantic networking). i argue that most of rabassa's stances towards translating can be explained and are still valid within the framework of a modern translation approach. examples from the english, french, german, portuguese and russian translations of garc¨ªa m¨¢rquez's cien a£¿os de soledad are taken from a multilingual parallel corpus collected by the author of this paper.
