A Book of the Year 2019 in The Morning Star. This is a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a small, ambitious press over a period of radical transformation in publishing. Each of Carcanet's fifty years is marked by an exchange of letters - handwritten, typed, and now emailed - between an author and the editor. Beginning in 1969 with the response to an invitation to subscribe to Carcanet for two guineas, the book traces Carcanet's progress and offers insight into the nature of literary editing. At its heart is the personal relationship of author and editor/publisher, the conflicts, friendships and vicissitudes that occur at the nexus between the work, its creator, publisher and reader. Poets are central, but fiction writers, translators, biographers and critics also contribute to the Carcanet ferment and firmament. Fifty Fifty celebrates the writers', readers' and editor's risks, passions and pleasures.

This collection of stories, José Régio's controversial masterpiece Histórias de Mulheres, is here translated for the first time into English. Régio creates a gallery of women - women who are outsiders, born into a society in which they are constrained by class, education, money and social expectations. Dulce is the pawn of feckless guardians. Miss Olímpia is trapped by poverty and her own pretensions. Rosa, for her part, refuses to conform to the stereotype of saccharine femininity, with serious consequences for herself and for her world. Some of the women cope, others go under. A few, in unexpected ways, triumph. Régio gets extremely close to his subjects, evincing a rare 'negative capability' and, in creating their worlds, effaces his own which is, after all, the very world that has confined them. Régio, one of the outstanding Portuguese writers of the twentieth century, combines psychological subtlety and social satire. Like that great Portuguese ironist of the century before, Eça de Queirós, Régio evokes the prison-house that society is for men and women alike, and in doing so rattles the bars on the cage. If his narratives were taken to heart, radical change might ensue. Margaret Jull Costa was a joint-winner of the Portuguese Translation Prize in 1992 for her version of Pessoa's The Book of Disquietude, and with Javier Marias won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for A Heart So White in 1997.

This volume is a result of the need to reflect upon Portugal’s position from the viewpoint of the literary assets imported and exported through translation. It brings together a number of scholars working in the field of Translation Studies directly concerned with the Portuguese cultural system in order to analyse this question from various theoretical perspectives and from case studies of translation flows and movements in Portuguese culture. By Translating Portugal Back and Forth, the articles discuss issues such as: how can one draw the borderline between a peripheral and a semi-peripheral system? Is this borderline useful or necessary? How peripheral is the Portuguese cultural system as far as translation transfers are concerned? How stable or pacific has this positioning been? Does the economic and historical perception of Portugal as peripheral entail that, from the viewpoint of translation, it would behave similarly? By addressing some of these questions, and as shown by the (second) subtitle – Essays in Honour of João Ferreira Duarte –, the volume pays homage to one of the most prominent Translation Studies scholars in Portugal, who has extensively reflected on the binary discourse on translation, its metaphors and images.
