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. Translation: A Very Short Introduction provides an authoritative and thought-provoking account of the field, from ancient Chinese to World English, from St Jerome to Google Translate. It shows how translation determines meaning; how it matters in commerce, empire, conflict, and resistance; and why it is fundamental  to literature and the arts.
