Оригинал:
Мы виделись с Вами на днях в Лондоне и Вы позволили написать Вам. К сожалению, Ваша занятость не позволила нам познакомиться ближе и обстоятельно побеседовать, но я надеюсь, что моё письмо будет началом нашего плодотворного общения и сотрудничества.
Не мне Вам рассказывать о том, что литература любой страны слагается из двух элементов: литературы отечественной и переводной. Все подлинно значимые произведения всех национальных литератур переводятся на иностранные языки и становятся в полной мере достоянием литератур других народов.
Но, увы, сейчас в России, в связи с прогрессирующей коммерциализацией издательского бизнеса многие, действительно великие, авторы из других стран незаслуженно почти забыты.
И мы хотели бы, в меру своих сил и возможностей, с Вашей помощью раздвинуть рамки нашей национальной литературы. Поставить лучшие иностранные произведения в положение, равноправное с продуктами национального творчества.

I saw you in London the other day and you let me write to you. Unfortunately, the fact that you were being busy forbade us to make a closer acquaintance as well as have a detailed conversation, but I hope that my letter will serve as a starting point of our fruitful communication and collaboration.
It is not me who should be telling you about the fact that literature of any country is made up of two components: national literature and translated works. All truly significant works of all national types of literature are translated into foreign languages and come completely into the domain of other peoples’ literatures.
However, alas, contemporary Russia has unfairly almost forgotten many genuinely great writers from foreign countries due to a progressing commercialization of the publishing business.
So, we would like to do our best along with your assistance to expand the limits of our national literature and to place the best foreign works in an equal position with the offspring of our national writing.
