كتاب  "Thinking Through Translation"
 تأليف: Jeffrey M. Green

Book Description

An expert translator explores and explains his art and craft Punctuated by thoughtful wit, this engaging volume of essays offers Jeffrey M. Green's personal and theoretical ruminations on the profession of translation. Green begins many of the essays by relating the specific techniques and problems associated with translating from Hebrew texts. From this intimate perspective, he forges wise reflections on such subjects as identifying and preserving the writer's voice, the cultural significance of translations and their contents, the research and travel that are part of a translator's everyday life, and the frequent puzzles associated with the craft. Green combines a contemporary frankness about the financial, practical, theoretical, and ethical aspects of translation with an aspiration to write "like a good literary critic of the old school" - considering the moral and spiritual implications of the translation as well as its content. Thinking Through Translation show us, with eloquent honesty, that translation is a delicate art and skill, and presents the trade as a way of attaining insight about history, the world, and oneself. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
