Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the translation of poetry of American classic and poet Walt Whitman. The names of talented poets S. Marshak and K. Chukovsky should be mentioned as they translated W. Whitman’s poetry into Russian. Hereafter, an outstanding poet M. Makataev translated them into the Kazakh language. A complex poetic meter of the American classic was adopted by M. Makataev for the reader correlating with the Kazakh poetry. The author of the article revealed full compliance with the Russian translation analog. Due to the complexity of the translation a free translation of some lines was observed. The author noted M. Makataev’ brilliant talent as a translator. On the materials of Russian translations of S. Marshak and K. Chukovsky the peculiarities of author’s strategy of translation of W. Whitman’s poetry into Kazakh were revealed. On the basis of theory of poetic translation the quality and level of Kazakh translation was analyzed and the mastery of the translator was identified.
