In 2020, podcaster Eric Molinsky discussed the idea of “fantasy in translation” during an episode of his fine series, “Imaginary Worlds.” He elaborated on the famous case of the Israeli fighter pilots who while being held as prisoners of war at Cairo translated “The Hobbit” into Hebrew, and spoke of how the Russian version of “The Wizard of Oz” became a thriving sub-franchise unto itself. Those are powerful examples, as no fantasy story is considered more resolutely English than J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” saga or more all-American than the “Oz” franchise.
