Aldona Liobytė collection

‘Aldona Liobytė. Smiling Resistance' was the title of one of the first books about the writer, publicist and interpreter Aldona Liobytė. Being a very active person with a strong sense of humour, Liobytė initiated and led informal networks among the Lithuanian intelligentsia. She kept up social ties and correspondence with many artists, discussing and making suggestions about creative work and everyday life, as well as supporting the ideas of the younger generation of artists. Through her personal ties and networks, she expressed an outlook (usually in the form of humour, irony or sarcasm) that had a sense of the existence beyond official Soviet ideology. While she was forced to leave her job at the Literary Fiction publishers because of her un-Soviet attitudes, she continued to work in the cultural sphere, writing for children and the younger generation. Translating from other languages was also an important activity and a reliable source of income for Liobytė's family . The collection consists of the papers of Aldona Liobytė, which are split between the Maironis Lithuanian Literature Museum and Liobytė’s daughter Gintarė Paškevičiūtė-Breivienė.

《微笑的反抗》系作家、出版家及翻译家阿尔多娜·利奥比特早期著作之一。利奥比特女士性情活跃，幽默感十足，她发起并领导了立陶宛知识分子的非正式网络。她与众多艺术家保持社交联系与通信，就艺术创作与日常生活进行讨论并提出建议，同时支持年轻一代艺术家的理念。凭借其个人关系和网络，她表达了一种超越官方苏联意识形态的视角（通常以幽默、讽刺或挖苦的形式）。尽管因持非苏联态度而被迫辞去文学小说出版社的工作，但她依然在文化领域继续工作，为儿童及年轻一代写作。翻译其他语言也成为她家庭的重要收入来源。该收藏包括阿尔多娜·利奥比特的文件，这些文件分别存放于马伊罗尼斯立陶宛文学博物馆及利奥比特女士之女金塔·帕斯凯维丘特-布赖维恩手中。
