Rezensionen

"Starting out from two basic concepts, 'big details' and 'part-whole thinking', Jeroen Vandaele succeeds in describing humanistic translation expertise as a blend of microtextual and cultural thinking, thus bringing scholars and practitioners of translation closer together. In times of artificial intelligence, this book shows translational detail to be a key to understanding human translation and translation studies. A rewarding read for experts and students alike."

- Belén Santana López, University of Salamanca, Spain; Spanish National Translation Prize 2019

"This insightful book invites us all to think about what translators do and how they do it. Translation changes things for many reasons and, as the author playfully shows us, the devil for translators is always in the detail."

- Susan Bassnett, University of Warwick and University of Glasgow, UK
