This study examines four Korean translations of Guy de Maupassant’s Boule de suif, all published in the 1960s—one in North Korea and three in South Korea. While the original story depicts French citizens enduring the hardships of the Franco-Prussian War of the 19th century, these Korean translations were produced for readers who had survived the Korean War and subsequently lived under the Cold War tensions between the two ideologically opposed Koreas. Against this background, the study compares the translation methods and strategies employed by the North and South Korean translators, focusing on how they rendered the portrayal of female characters. The findings illustrate how their political intentions and textual choices shape and convey specific representations of women in wartime to their respective readerships. These translations, often more explicit than the source text, either reinforce the female characters’ patriotism or expose their hypocrisy.
