Opis

The book investigates mediating practices used in translating key children's and young adults' texts. It focuses on transfer of contents considered unsuitable for younger audiences. It shows that domesticating and adaptive approaches sometimes infringing upon the integrity of source texts are still part of contemporary translation practices.
