This article briefly analyses the interventions of the communist censorship in the Romanian translation of the novel Os Maias [The Maias] by Eça de Queirós. A comparison of the 1978 and the 2005 editions with the original text shows only a few interventions in fragments that tackle political issues. Most of the changes that we identified in the 1978 edition – word replacement, total or partial textual omission – occur in fragments about the incestuous relationship between the main characters. This analysis shows how the translator unwillingly turned into a traitor during the Romanian communist regime.
