  Rudolf J. Vonka (1877–1964) was one of the most important Czech translators of Dutch
  literature in the interwar period. He is best known as the translator of novels by the then
  internationally renowned Flemish writer Felix Timmermans. His translations were very
  successful, received positive reviews and were reprinted, sometimes long after the Second
  World War. However, the Dutch translator and netherlandist Olga Krijtová (1931–2013)
  discovered that Vonka had largely adapted the translated texts, which is a serious offence
  according to Czech translatological standards. The contribution discusses Vonka’s
  position and work as a translator and possible motives for his approach. Finally, it shows
  why Vonka can after all be considered an important contributor to the spread of Dutchlanguage literature in the Czech Republic.
