Persiana Pastuhova-Licheva

Hello! My name is Persiana Pastuhova-Licheva. I graduated from "St.St. Cyril and Methodius" university. My bachelor degree is in Applied Linguistics with specialization in English and Russian languages.

In the same university I finished my MA program in conference interpreting (English language). I specialized in translations of texts from different fields, some of which are: economy, politics, law, finance.

Like any other field of human knowledge translation requires perseverance and hard work. People are changing every day, so does the world. Languages that we use for our communication are changing with us. If one word today is modern and has two or three meanings, it may soon be obsolete, or, vice versa, to acquire other meanings.

The translator is a person of wide general culture - or so to say they know little about many things ☺ Their work is often invisible by the name of a writer or in translation of official documents. However, every translation has its own charm. I am happy that I can work what I love, and hope more people will appreciate their work and merits.

Today, translators work more often on documents, drafts and other documents directly related to our daily activities. However, translation of a book is an incomparable pleasure.

A book which I recently translated presents the life and achievements of one contemporary Gabrovian - Peyo Peev - one of the biggest benefactors in Gabrovo today.
