For this purpose, first and retranslations of The Grand Meaulnes of Alain Fournier, Swann in Love of Marcel P roust, and The Lover of Marguerite Duras, which have a certain reputation in our translated literature, are given as examples. In this comparative study, original texts are provided along with their translations, and the differences being evident, a detailed analysis was not required.TurkishRetranslationSource languageSourceTarget languageNaturalizationDomesticationDecenteringTranslationArticle
