Book details
What does "translate" mean? Does "translation" fully convey the meaning of the original? What is the role of the translator and why is "translation" more of an experience and a process of losses and rewards than a passive interpretation of the original? What is "negotiation" and what is its role in relation to the original text? In these and many other similar questions of translational and translation studies interest, Umberto Eco attempts to answer in the series of publications and announcements that see the light for the first time in a single volume. With his well-known vivid and comprehensible style, with references from various and different fields of knowledge and creation (from literature to philosophy and semiotics, from aesthetics to music and cinema), and drawing dozens of specific examples of translation from the most important languages, he demonstrates that "translation" is more of a fascinating journey between cultures, languages, and texts, the origins of which are lost in the depths of the centuries, as he emphasizes, in "reality for millennia the world has been translating".
