![]() The Craft of Translation (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) $18.00 The promising title is covered by only nine authors, which in my opinion, is not enough to cover the whole spectrum of the "Craft". The worse surprise; however, is that most of the texts are pertinent to very specific examples of very specific works of very different types of translations. I expected a full meal with this book and all I got was a tossed salad with very few ingredients. May I suggest another book by the same press? It is called "Theories of Translation" ![]() The Translation Studies Reader $49.95 Excellent textbook that helps to explain many of the different theories of translation, but it doesn't go into much detail on any particular one. Good first-step into the field of translation! ![]() In Other Words: A Coursebook on Translation $39.95 It's a good general textbook on translation. The only drawback is that it makes too much reference to Arabic and Chinese, really interesting languages but not what I was expecting. ![]() Translation: An Advanced Resource Book (Routledge Applied Linguistics) $39.95 Translation: examines the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles, including semantics, functional linguistics, corpus and cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, gender studies and postcolonialism draws on a wide range of languages, including French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Arabic explores material from a variety of sources, such as the Internet, advertisements, religious texts, literary and technical texts gathers together influential readings from the key names in the discipline, including James S.
