After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation by George Steiner

5.0

The take of George Steiner on translation changed my view of the world. It gave me a tool to understand culture, not just language, literature and translations. Steiner says that a translation of a book into a foreign language discovers the new meanings that were always there. This is how I view culture. When someone interprets and translates my culture into theirs, I have a chance to know more about myself and where I came from: benefiting from someone else's perspective.
