Natalya Trauberg sounds like an amazing woman:
That there is a Wodehouse fellowship at all, though, is largely thanks to Natalya Trauberg. A self-taught English speaker, the 79-year-old former dissident risked transportation to the gulags under Stalin for translating the theological works of C S Lewis and G K Chesterton in samizdat.
Can you imagine the sort of stories she could tell? Fascinating.
