Description
A fresh exploration of translation's fundamental nature. Award-winning translator Damion Searls offers a convincing account of what translation really is and what translators do. With decades of experience grappling with words at their most granular level, Searls connects specific examples to larger philosophical issues of reading and perception. Translation, he argues, is fundamentally a way of reading - but reading is much more than taking in information, and translating is far from a mechanical process of converting one word to another. This exploration of the theory and practice of translation is for anyone interested in the beauty, force, and movement of language. Through specific examples, Searls sheds light on the complexities of translation, revealing its unique challenges and rewards.
