Abstract

In the modern world translation is everywhere: in literature, in the classroom but also in scientific and technical domains. Many political and philosophical works have references of cultural and national traditions and their translation and interpretation demands great effort. In the rapid 'babelisation' one should not forget that a translation is not the same as the original, that it is the work of a translator. In this book the author not only discusses the reception of translations but also their production. He develops his theories by starting from his own experience and practice as a translator.
