[eBook] Literary Translation in Practice

This book introduces the theory and practice of literary translation through the lens of original short stories translated from Arabic into English. Readers are provided with both the source text and the target language translation, alongside critical commentaries and discussion of related key concepts and issues, to allow them to see the mechanics of decision-making in this type of specialised translation. At the end of each section, exercises, discussion questions and practice texts encourage students to apply what they've learned. This textbook will be an ideal resource for students on advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on Specialised - especially Literary - Translation, Translation Theory, Issues in Translation and Middle Eastern Culture and Literature.
