Appreciating translation and translators

Robert Wechsler's appreciation of Translation and the translator's work is clearly evidenced throughout this wonderfully written book. The book provides wonderful references, resources and magnificent examples of all that involved in translation and I highly recommend this book for both translators and students who want to truly understand the meaning and value of this literary art.

An excellent book for translators and readers alike

One of the most interesting books on literary translation. Explains why and how translators translate, and gives a thorough analysis of the craft of literary translation. This book will help readers understand what translation is all about, and will help translators put into words many of their deepest feelings.
