Babel

Adventures in Translation

Dennis Duncan , Katrin Kohl et al , Stephen Harrison

For millennia the art of translation has allowed ideas and stories to be shared, building bridges between cultures and inspiring creativity while also ensuring that each language retains its distinctiveness. The examples explored in this illustrated collection of essays include the Homeric epics, religious texts and beast fables, from the Sanskrit Panchatantra to Beatrix Potter. Also discussed are types of cross-linguistic play and fantasy writers’ invented languages.
