Reviews

"'There is no other book out there that could fulfil the same function it is both eminently useful and attractively presented it's hard to imagine anyone teaching a course on translation studies without assigning this book to students as a core text.' - Susan Bernofsky, Bard College, New York; 'By far the best book on the market if you want a reader compiled with a view to general representability outstanding.' - Lars Sauerberg, University of Southern Denmark"
