Updating the Vasily Grossman Digital Documentation Center: New translations and the Spanish case study

Abstract

The present paper aims at presenting the Vasily Grossman Documentation Center, from its evolution to its current state, a decade after its official launch in 2014 during the third and last conference organized by the Study Center under the theme “Vasily Grossman's Heritage: The Originality of a XX Century Classic”. It describes both the outline of the function of the platform, which today aspires to be a benchmark research tool for Grossman studies, and the work of implementing the records, what has already been done and future prospects. As examples of research facilitated by the Documentation Center, an overview of the translations of the majorworks, Life and Fate and Everything Flows, into the main European languages is  proposed, and the case study of Grossman's publishing success in Spain is examined.
