Abstract

The article explores Lesia Ukrainka’s translation activity in her epistolary from the perspective of creativity psychology. The idea of creating the “European library” in Ukrainian is seen through the lens of how the translation of world-class creative works into Ukrainian performs a nation-building function, preserves the national morale and culture, proves the full value of the Ukrainian language. Lesia Ukrainka’s letters evidence that these factors were her motivators. She sees translation activity as a creative process as it reflects her creative thinking, idiosyncrasy, and self-actualisation manifested in the expressive and existential essence of the author’s creativity. Lesia’s epistolary reveals elements of creativity psychology, offers ideas on the artistic value of translated works and further development of Ukrainian literature. The translations demonstrate Lesia’s ability to self-develop and self-actualise, proven as the most advanced human needs.
