My usual topics are of a more technical nature but then I wanted to try my hand at thrillers/novels which worked out very well. Taking the characters' view and weighing every word, every nuance, was interesting and fun.
By now I have translated these books:
Love Target by Heidi Loeb Hegerich (novel)
Jump Cut (German title: Bildsprung) by Libby Fischer Hellmann (thriller)
as well as four shorter novels which are not yet in print.

I have worked on 13 works of fiction and 8 works of non-fiction. My journey along the path of Russian translation began over 20 years ago at Cambridge University. In my most vivid memories of student life, I still see the 'ten mighty falcons and the singing swans' of The tale of Igor’s Campaign. Later, I lived in the Altai for 12 years where images of the swans were joined by bogatr and yurts pumping smoke... for more details on books translated by me, see my website altaipilgrim.com
