This study investigates a translation problem caused by the difficulty to translate and adapt intertextuality and is dedicated to examining intertextuality and the methods used to achieve equivalence and preserving an image of a culture. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the fact that a translation model is created based on the analysis of the perception of intertextual elements of the original and translated text. The practical significance of this work lies in the possible use of the material of this study, at seminars on the problems of intertextuality and in the possibility of using the research results in translation practice. Adequate perception of the intertextuality depends on the equivalence of the translation. This is what determines the relevance of this study.
