The article introduces some facets of Horacio Quiroga’s heterogeneous relationship with the phenomenon of literary translation: His comments and interests regarding the translation of his work into other languages, particularly, in his correspondence with Brazilian colleague José Bento Monteiro Lobato and with French translator Francis de Miomandre. Furthermore, the essay establishes a corpus comprised of an exhaustive list of Quiroga’s work translated during his lifetime, from 1906 to 1938, consisting of seventy-four texts in nine languages. Lastly, the relevance of this corpus is analyzed in light of the categories of prestige and survival.
Keywords: History of Translation; Horacio Quiroga; Prestige; Mediators.
