Is That a Fish in Your Ear? Translation and the Meaning of Everything by David Bellos
5.0
I just finished my MA in history with a focus on historic preservation and I saw many parallels between my work and translation.
Questions of shared reality and differences in perception shape the stories we tell in historiographies.
Additionally, a good translation relies on cultural knowledge beyond just the text and proper understanding of a historical item requires context as well.
