metadata.value: The paper discusses the early translations of works by S. Gessner into Russian. In 1772, the
  Vechera magazine published translations of five idylls from the homonymous collection by
  Gessner (1756). A number of conclusions important for understanding how Gessner’s works
  are perceived in Russia were made from having studied these texts. Firstly, the emergence of
  Russian translators’ interest in the works by Gessner was apparently due to the literary reputation
  of the Swiss author created in the 60s and early 70s in France. Secondly, we managed to
  find the probable source of translations published in the Vechera magazine. In our opinion,
  it is a book “Idylles et poemes champêtres” containing M. Hubert’s French translations published
  in 1762. In addition, it is significant that Gessner’s translations coexisted in Vechera
  with numerous other examples of the pastoral genre. In order to understand the difference of
  Gessner’s idylls from other pastoral works for Russian readers, they were analyzed in terms of
  composition, subject matter, role of landscape, and presence of moral component. The analysis
  allowed us to conclude that even the first translations of the idylls could provide the readers
  with an understanding of Gessner’s works originality. Despite the fact that only five small
  works were published in Vechera, the readers of the magazine could get an idea of novelty
  introduced by Gessner to the development of the idyll genre even from these texts.
