An Analytical Study of “The Chronicle of A Death Foretold”

Abstract

The Punjabi translation of The Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Afzal Ahsan Randhawa is a significant contribution to Punjabi literary translation. Randhawa successfully preserves Gabriel Garcia Marquez's distinctive narrative style symbolic depth, and subtle irony while rendering the text into fluent, natural, and idiomatic Punjabi. His translation effectively conveys the cultural atmosphere and emotional intensity of the original work, making it accessible to Punjabi readers without compromising its literary richness. By maintaining a balance between linguistic fidelity and cultural adaptation' Randhawa demonstrates the expressive potential of the Punjabi Language and enriches its body of translated world literature.
