As entertaining as it is engrossing John BanvilleEnlightening, delightful Arthur der Weduwen, author of The LibraryWhy dont eleven and twelve end in teen? The rest of our counting system sits in neatly arithmetical sets of ten, so why do these two rulebreakers seem so at odds with the numbers that follow them? Admittedly, thats probably a question that might never have occurred to you. But if youre even remotely interested in the origins and oddities of language, its likely also a question youre now intrigued to know the answer to. Nor is it the only question: take a moment to think about how our language operates and even more spring mind. Why do these letters look the way they do? Why are some uppercase and others lowercase? Why are these words in this order? How are you understanding what these seemingly arbitrary shapes and symbols mean, while doubtless hearing them read to you in a voice inside your head? And what is this question mark really doing at this end of this sentence?Books explaining the origins of our most intriguing words and phrases have long proved popular, but they often overlook the true nuts and bolts of language: the origins of our alphabet and writing system; grammatical rules and conventions; the sound structure of language; and even how our brains and bodies interpret and communicate language itself. Why Is This a Question? is a fascinating and enlightening exploration of linguistic questions youve likely never thought to ask. Every page will make you stop, think and wonder.

"Traduzir é entrar em alguém. Dar-lhe lugar também, para que entre em nós", escreve a argentina Laura Wittner em Viver e traduzir, uma espécie de diário em que seu ofício de tradutora se mescla a cenas do cotidiano, aforismos, anedotas e dialogos com diversas obras e seus autores e autoras, numa saborosa prosa poetica.Tradutora de nomes como Katherine Mansfield e Leonard Cohen e tambem poeta premiada, Laura Wittner elabora esse ensaio singular a partir de reflexes acumuladas em mais de 25 anos, defendendo a ligaço entre a pratica da traduço literaria e a experiencia concreta da vida, revelando segredos do oficio e inquietaçes. Na tentativa constante de responder a pergunta "O que e traduzir?", Laura oferece ainda uma serie de definiçes que permeiam as suas notas: "traduzir e autoanalisar-se", "traduzir e seguir vivendo", "traduzir e apropriar-se."

Este libro pretende servir de guía para todos los estudiosos del apasionante mundo de la traducción de la literatura infantil y juvenil. Para afrontar la inevitable multidisciplinariedad de la materia, la obra se centra, en primer lugar, en las dos principales ramas que sustentan este tipo de estudios: las investigaciones, de muy diversa indole, relacionadas con la literatura infantil y juvenil y con los cuentos de hadas, y los estudios descriptivos de la traduccion. Ambos campos se abordan desde una doble perspectiva, al combinar un enfoque historico acerca de la evolucion de las investigaciones en las respectivas disciplinas con una mayor profundizacion en ciertos conceptos y debates que resultan claves para una adecuada comprension de los estudios de las traducciones de los libros para niños y jovenes. En segundo lugar, la monografia se adentra en un campo de estudio de origen muy reciente pero en plena expansion, ya que ofrece una vision de conjunto de las principales publicaciones, organizadas tematicamente, que guardan relacion de manera especifica con la traduccion de la literatura infantil y juvenil.
