Abstract
In literary translation practice issues related to culture-specific lexemes are mostly dealt with on microtextual level. This means that a suitable lexical counterpart is sought for each word which is considered to be an isolated unit within the text. However, this microtextual approach seems to be problematic as culture-specific lexemes do not yield to mere substitution of source and target lexemes but require a precise interpretation by the translator. In view of the the aim of the paper is to present a macrotextual approach for translating culture-specific lexemes based on a case study. A major advantage of such an approach is that cognitive reconstruction of reality comes to the foreground.
