Μετά τη Βαβέλ
George Steiner, 1975
A searching account of translation as both an art and a way of thinking about language, culture, and what it means to understand another person.
George Steiner
Steiner first published After Babel in 1975; the book became a major modern study of translation and interpretation.
Feels like art, curiosity and awe.
Even gratitude can become a ritual we stop examining.
Εἴθισται νὰ εὐχαριστοῦμε τὴν οἰκογένειά μας καὶ τοὺς στενοὺς ϕίλους μας γιὰ τὴν ἀνεκτικότητα ἢ τὸν ἐνθουσιασμὸ ποὺ ἐπέδειξαν κατὰ τὴ διάρκεια μιᾶς μακρᾶς περιόδου ἔμμονης, συχνά, ἐργασίας. ᾽Αλλὰ αὐτὸ ἔχει καταντήσει κλισέ, διότι πῶς θὰ μποροῦσαν νὰ πράξουν διαϕορετικά; ῾ Η τιμητικὴ ἀϕιέρωση αὐτοῦ τοῦ βιβλίου, ἐξάλλου, ἀποκαλύπτει μέρος μόνο τῆς πραγματικῆς της σημασίας.
