Description
Why Translation Matters by Edith Grossman is a thought-provoking exploration of the cultural importance of translation and its role in shaping our understanding of literature.
The translator's art, as argued by Edith Grossman, plays a crucial part in facilitating access to literature written in languages we cannot read. This book challenges readers to reconsider their relationship with translation, highlighting its capacity to foster new connections and insights between people from different backgrounds.
Through four chapters, Grossman inspires a fresh perspective on the translator's work, demonstrating its significance in an increasingly globalised world where understanding and empathy are more vital than ever.
