Translation is everywhere and matters to everybody. Translation doesn't only give us foreign news, dubbed films and instructions for using the microwave: without it, there would be no world religions, and our literatures, our cultures, and our languages would be unrecognizable. In this Very Short Introduction, Matthew Reynolds gives an authoritative and thought-provoking account of the field, from ancient Akkadian to World English, from St Jerome to Google Translate. He shows how translation determines meaning, how it matters in commerce, empire, conflict and resistance, and why it is fundamental to literature and the arts.

Great find for less
Color: Wine Red, Size: X-Large
I purchased two of these in different colors for my husband. They were way cheaper than other options available. I was nervous about the quality with how much cheaper, but he loves them. And I must say they look very good on him. Happy with purchase, true to size. My husband is 6'2' and no complaints about the length.
