| book description |

Bridging Texts: Translation and Literary Studies in Dialogue is an insightful examination of the relationship between translation and literary studies. It discusses the linkage and mutual development of these two domains, commonly seen as separate. This book places translation as central to literary analysis, providing readers with new insights into the transformative influence of language and the essential function of translation in shaping literary traditions, promoting intercultural dialogue, and addressing the complexities of representation and identity. Rather than just a mechanical process of word conversion, translation emerges in this book as a creative, interpretive, and fundamentally human act. Translators function as cultural mediators and co-creators, revisiting texts to ensure their resonance across linguistic and cultural divides. The book emphasizes how literary studies can enhance our comprehension of translation, illuminating issues of honesty, adaptability, and the evolution of meaning during the transition between languages. The book is organized by main themes and covers a broad range of subjects, including the translator's authority, the ethics of representation, and the difficulties of translating poetry, humor, and culturally distinctive texts. It transcends theoretical discourse to offer pragmatic insights that will appeal to translators, literary scholars, and anyone who engages with literature in multiple languages. The book promotes dialogue by bringing together contributors from varied academic and cultural backgrounds, reflecting the richness and richness of its topic of discussion.
