Natalya Trauberg
Famous
Russian Christian essayist Natalya Trauberg . Natalya Trauberg translated virtually all essays of Chesterton and
Lewis. What is more important: she bestowed these authors with her own
superb, vivid and exquisite style, making them most popular in Russia.
I think 50% of the success of Chesterton and 70% of Lewis's success in
Russia are because of the style of Natalya Trauberg. She was good friend
of Fr. Alexander Menn. She lived in Lithuania
for many years and was an example of Christian with two lungs. One time
she was the member of the third order of St. Dominic, but after Gorbachev
the leaders of the order made her choose: either to become only
Roman Catholic or to leave. Now she is a parishioner of the Russian Orthodox
Church. She has one son, one daughter and many grandchildren.
Her article about Wodehouse.
