The article constitutes an attempt to depict the complexity of translation as a cross-cultural phenomenon. It discusses the author’s own translation of “Kraj cudów”—one of Jerzy Pilch’s feature articles from the collection Pociąg do życia wiecznego (The Train to Eternal Life) and aims at answering the following question: which translation procedures that deal with culturemes are the most frequently applied and prevalent in the presented sample of the translation? In the contrastive analysis Peter Newmark’s translation procedures have been used. Moreover, the aim of the article is to describe translation as a cross-cultural phenomenon and discuss a person of a translator as an intercultural link.
