Summary : La historia está marcada por una constelación de genios y visionarios cuyas contribuciones han moldeado nuestro entendimiento del mundo y desafiado nuestras percepciones. Entre estos iluminados, emergen nombres como Charles Bukowski, Pablo Picasso, Mark Twain y Charlie Chaplin. A simple vista, parecería que estas figuras pertenecen a esferas disímiles de la creatividad y la expresión, sin embargo, al adentrarnos en sus obras y vidas, descubrimos sorprendentes afinidades que revelan una búsqueda común de verdades esenciales. En este escrito, exploraremos esas afinidades y cómo estos iconoclastas convergieron en ciertos principios fundamentales. Bukowski, Picasso, Twain y Chaplin se manifestaron en contra de la injusticia y la hipocresía de la sociedad. Bukowski, a través de sus personajes marginales y desfavorecidos, criticó la alienación y la brutalidad de la vida urbana moderna. Picasso, en obras como "Guernica", denunció los horrores de la guerra y la violencia humana. Twain expuso las contradicciones de la sociedad estadounidense, especialmente en relación con la raza y la clase social. Chaplin, a través de sus películas, se burló de la pomposidad y la vanidad de la élite social, al tiempo que defendía la humanidad y la compasión hacia los marginados y oprimidos. Charles Bukowski, Pablo Picasso, Mark Twain y Charlie Chaplin, a través de sus distintas formas de expresión, nos invitaron a cuestionar las convenciones, a explorar los rincones más oscuros de la existencia y a abrazar nuestra humanidad compartida. Su legado sigue resonando en nuestras mentes y corazones, recordándonos la importancia de la autenticidad, la rebeldía y la compasión en un mundo que a menudo se ve dominado por la superficialidad y la conformidad.

Summary : The definition of value or quality with respect to work in translation has historically been a particularly vexed issue. Today, however, the growing demand for translations in such fields as technology and business and the increased scrutiny of translators' work by scholars in many disciplines is giving rise to a need for more nuanced, more specialized, and more explicit methods of determining value. Some refer to this determination as evaluation, others use the term assessment. Either way, the question is one of measurement and judgement, which are always unavoidably subjective and frequently rest on criteria that are not overtly expressed. This means that devising more complex evaluative practices involves not only quantitative techniques but also an exploration of the attitudes, preferences, or individual values on which criteria are established. Intended as an interrogation and a critique that can serve to prompt a more thorough and open consideration of evaluative criteria, this special issue of The Translator offers examinations of diverse evaluative practices and contains both empirical and hermeneutic work. Topics addressed include the evaluation of student translations using more up-to-date and positive methods such as those employed in corpus studies; the translation of non?standard language; translation into the second language; terminology; the application of theoretical criteria to practice; a social?textual perspective; and the reviewing of literary translations in the press. In addition, reviews by a number of literary translators discuss specific translations both into and out of English.

Summary : “Relatable and comforting and challenging all at once. Don’t be afraid to read this book.” —Jenny Lawson, author of Furiously Happy A funny and wise guide and workbook for conquering fears, from the existential to the everyday, and defeating the monster those fears can become: anxiety This is a book about fear. About how it works, how it takes hold over us, and how it dogs us from childhood (the monsters under the bed) to adulthood (careers, relationships, accidentally sending that risky text to the wrong person--all the things that make us want to bite our nails). But this is also a book about that monster our fear can warp into when it grows too powerful, a phenomenon we are all too familiar with and that more and more of us are struggling against: anxiety. Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade had her own battle with anxiety, and not only did she make it out the other side, she learned sometimes it's the very thing that almost sinks you that can save you. Through the lessons, exercises, and often hilarious personal stories Amalia shares in these pages, together you will learn how to make those feelings your friends and turn your fears into superpowers.

Summary : NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.
