  The human body is a remarkable and intricate system, made up of trillions of cells working in harmony to maintain life. Understanding its structure and function is essential for gaining insights into how the body operates and sustains itself. At the most basic level, the body is organized into four primary levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Cells are the building blocks of life, each with specialized functions that contribute to the overall well-being of the organism. Tissues are formed from similar cells working together to perform specific functions. Organs are composed of various tissues that cooperate to carry out more complex tasks, and when organs work together in coordinated groups, they form systems that carry out essential bodily functions. 
  The organization of the body is designed for efficiency and survival, ensuring that all processes, from digestion to respiration, occur seamlessly. For example, the digestive system processes food and absorbs nutrients, the respiratory system ensures oxygen exchange, and the circulatory system distributes oxygen and nutrients to the cells while removing waste products. Each system is interconnected, and any disruption to one can affect the others, highlighting the importance of balance and coordination in maintaining health. 
  A key concept in understanding the body’s functioning is homeostasis, the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This balance is critical to the survival of cells and, by extension, the organism as a whole. The body’s systems are continuously monitoring and adjusting to changes in temperature, pH levels, fluid balance, and other internal factors to keep everything within optimal ranges. For instance, when body temperature rises, the body sweats to cool down, and when it drops, it shivers to generate heat. Similarly, the kidneys help regulate fluid balance by adjusting urine production according to hydration levels.

  Sneha Mathan narrates these luminous essays on translation and self-translation by award-winning writer and literary translator Jhumpa Lahiri
  
  With an introduction, afterword, and acknowledgements read by the author
  Translating Myself and Others is a collection of candid and disarmingly personal essays by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri, who reflects on her emerging identity as a translator as well as a writer in two languages.
  
  With subtlety and emotional immediacy, Lahiri draws on Ovid's myth of Echo and Narcissus to explore the distinction between writing and translating, and provides a close reading of passages from Aristotle's Poetics to talk more broadly about writing, desire, and freedom. She traces the theme of translation in Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks and takes up the question of Italo Calvino's popularity as a translated author. Lahiri considers the unique challenge of translating her own work from Italian to English, the question "Why Italian?," and the singular pleasures of translating contemporary and ancient writers.
  
  Featuring essays originally written in Italian and published in English for the first time, as well as essays written in English, Translating Myself and Others brings together Lahiri's most lyrical and eloquently observed meditations on the translator's art as a sublime act of both linguistic and personal metamorphosis.
