The comparison explores how each translator conveys meaning, literary style, and aesthetic nuances from the source text into Indonesian. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a textual comparative approach. Data are drawn from selected key excerpts in the original novel and its two translated versions. The analysis focuses on equivalence of meaning, stylistic shifts, and translation strategies. The findings show that Damono tends to preserve Hemingway’s minimalist style, while Ellyati adopts a more adaptive and communicative approach to reach Indonesian readers. These results are interpreted through Susan Bassnett’s theory of loss and gain, Hans Vermeer’s Skopos theory, and Damono’s views on the aesthetics of literary translation.</em></p>2025-06-30T07:14:37+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Cindy Zahra Devita,S.S., M.Hum.
