Rezensionen

"This new translation manual will be very useful for both students and teachers. More than just a simple textbook, it enables us to better understand the subtleties of the act of translation, especially with regard to the treatment of literary or academic texts. This textbook - including a large number of examples - gives a very precise vision of the issue of translation."

Valentine Zuber, Professor at the École Pratique des Hautes Études-PSL, France

"The authors offer a useful, down-to-earth self-study resource for translators wishing to move into literary translation. Supporting creative reflection on the translation task, their macro- and micro-strategy framework provides an excellent starting point for translators' Continuing Professional Development."

"Bustling with examples from various genres and languages, this accessible and informative guide is essential reading for translators and translation students seeking to improve their practical awareness and develop the creative skills they need to write well. As the market for translated works grows, the authors' advice on the art of translation is both timely and invaluable."
