Opis

As in the preceding volume (TolkieninTranslation), the studies presented here deal with a wide range of problems and challenges connected with the task of translating Tolkiens work. Contributions do not only discuss aspects of translation into different languages (German, Dutch, Swedish, Hebrew), but also offer in-depth analysis of especially difficult areas of translation (names, Tolkiens invented languages). Moreover, with the initial publication of this volume having closely followed the release of the third and final part of the movie in 2003, it could take stock and make a first assessment of Jacksons achievement (or failure). Five out of twelve contributions united in this volume thus deal with the movie under the aspect of translation. The preceding volume, Tolkien in Translation, is available as number 4 in the Cormare¨ Series from Walking Tree Publishers.
