Description
Why Translation Matters (ePub/Mobi) is a thought-provoking exploration of the profound impact translation has on culture and literature. This enlightening work invites readers to appreciate the pivotal role of translators, as articulated by the esteemed translator Edith Grossman. In her insightful introduction, Grossman states, “My intention is to encourage a new consideration of a sphere of literature that is usually ignored, misrepresented or misunderstood.”
For Grossman, translation is of paramount importance: “It serves not merely as a bridge to literary works penned in languages beyond our grasp, but it also embodies a tangible literary presence that enriches and deepens our connections with those who may have previously seemed distant or foreign. Through translation, we gain the ability to perceive the world from diverse perspectives, allowing us to attribute new significance to experiences that once felt alien. As individuals and as societies, we have an urgent need for this kind of understanding and insight. The alternative is simply unimaginable.”
This compelling volume unfolds across four meticulously crafted chapters that highlight Grossman’s unwavering belief in the essential nature of the translator’s craft. Her unique aptitude for articulating the complexities of her role as an interpreter of original texts engages readers and offers a transformative perspective on translation.
