For five hundred years, the survivors of the Great Wars lived peacefully in a valley sanctuary shielded by powerful magic from the dangerous outside world. But the enchanted barriers have crumbled, and the threat of annihilation looms large once more. As he lay dying, Sider Ament, bearer of the last black staff and protector of the valley, gave stewardship of the powerful talisman to the young Tracker Panterra Qu. Now the newly anointed Knight of the Word must take up the battle against evil wherever it threatens: from without, where an army of bloodthirsty Trolls is massing for invasion; and from within, where the Elf king of Arborlon has been murdered, his daughter stands accused, and a heinous conspiracy is poised to subjugate the kingdom. But even these affairs will pale beside the most harrowing menace Panterra is destined to confront - a nameless, merciless agent of darkness on a relentless mission: to claim the last black staff and the life of whoever wields it.

Ce livre est une théorie d'ensemble de la traduction. Par son point de vue et son ampleur, il n'a pas d'équivalent parmi les ouvrages qui traitent du traduire. Il propose une critique, c'est-à-dire une fondation, des principes qui relient l'acte de traduire à la littérature. Il commence par l'examen des idées reçues, et l'histoire de la traduction en Europe, continent culturel bâti sur des traductions. L'objet est de fonder la nécessité de tenir l'acte de traduire, et ses résultats, par le fonctionnement des oeuvres littéraires. D'où une critique de l'étude des traductions comme discipline autonome, qui revient à la remettre aux seules questions de sens, en méconnaissant que le langage fait autant et plus qu'il ne dit. La question de la poétique est comment. Seule une théorie d'ensemble du langage et de la littérature peut situer la spécificité du traduire. Car on ne traduit pas seulement des langues, mais des textes. Si on l'oublie, cet oubli se voit. La théorie et la pratique sont inséparables. Les textes traduits vont du sacré à la poésie, au roman, au théâtre et à la philosophie. Ils passent par l'hébreu biblique, le grec ancien, le chinois classique, l'italien, l'anglais, l'allemand et le russe.

This books cuts through pompous and meaningless language to champion clear, transparent writing and shows readers how to achieve it.

"Who's afraid of...?" is a series of information books covering aspects of English usage. The text is accessible and entertaining with accurate facts and advice. These are not old-fashioned prescriptive schoolbooks; they guide less confident writers through rules and conditions, highlighting common pitfalls that English language users often face. "Pet peeve" symbols throughout the text highlight things worth avoiding simply because certain people take exception to them.
