Great list! I suggest Maria Nikolajeva, her writtings have helped me a lot with my monograph.

As far as modern writing is concerned, it is rarely rewarding to translate it, although it might be easy. Translation is very much like copying paintings. Yeast Free Recipe
Hmm, I must say I disagree completely. Translation is rarely easy, but often rewarding. It is nothing like copying paintings. It's more like being told to create a new painting based on the same style and colors as another painting.
Best wishes,

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
