The focus of this thesis is the translation of literary works from Croatian to English language. In this paper, I will address the differences which are present during the process of translation of literature and present my own views on how to tackle the immensely complicated problems which often appear while translating certain pieces of literature. The first two texts are short stories published during the 20th century. I have purposely chosen those two stories, seeing as how one had been published in 1905, and the other in 1960, to explore the differences, not only within the lines of the style of writing, but also to show the differences in the use of vocabulary which can be quite troublesome for translators, and that the vocabulary greatly depends on the time when the story was published. The third text is a prose poem, while the fourth text is a free verse poem. Following the translation of the chosen texts, I will provide a commentary and the analysis of each text in which I will give out information on the author, the style of writing, and ultimately present the reasons why I chose to translate certain parts of those texts the way I did. Since every translator has the right to produce their own unique vision of a certain translation I believe that the commentary chapters of this work will prove to be the most valuable as I will present my own thought processes which enabled me to come up with the translated literary work. I believe it is necessary to mention that the commentary and analysis part will not contain reasons for every specific word or phrase, but only for the parts which have proven troublesome to translate into the target language for whatever reason. Following the final commentary chapter, this thesis will include a conclusion which will summarize the main features of the process of translation.
