| Summary: | This article delves into the analysis of two versions of Ksawery Pruszyński's work dedicated to the Spanish Civil War: the original Polish edition published in 1937 and its Spanish translation by Katarzyna Olszewska Sonnenberg and Sergio Trigán, released seventy years later in 2007. Considering translation as a phenomenon of cultural rewriting (Lefevere, 1992), we will observe how both versions of the book generated creative actions. In the original Polish text, these actions focused on a series of historical, political, and cultural correspondences between Spain and Poland, manifested through abundant intertexts. In the Spanish translation, the action related to the edition of explanatory-interpretative paratexts. Both rewritings underscore the substantial mediating function of the translating activity, along with its cultural implications.
