Sinopsis

Literary Translation Hubs explores how specific cities and regions have become vital centers in the global exchange of literature through translation. These "translation hubs" are not just passive conduits but active shapers of meaning, influencing how major literary works are received and integrated into different cultures. The book examines the historical, cultural, and socio-political factors that have allowed certain locales to become pivotal in shaping the global flow of literature, impacting the globalization of literature and literary history.

 
The book traces the evolution of translation from antiquity to the present, analyzing how shifts in political power, technological advancements, and migration patterns influenced the emergence of these hubs. For instance, the book will delve into specific case studies such as Renaissance Florence or 19th-century Paris, exploring the unique conditions, like skilled translators and supportive institutions, that led to their prominence. This approach provides a deeper understanding of how literature is mediated and interpreted across diverse cultural contexts.

 
Structured with a comprehensive overview, the book first defines "translation hubs" and then delves into detailed case studies. Drawing from archival research, literary analysis, and historical documents, the book examines how specific translation choices reflect the cultural and political values of the hub in which they were produced.

 
Ultimately, the book discusses the implications of translation hubs for understanding world literature and debates surrounding linguistic and cultural exchange, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in language arts, history, cultural studies, and the intricate interplay between language, culture, and power.

Defence of Idealism

May Sinclair

The philosophy of Idealism, revived in eighteenth-century Europe by George Berkeley, argued against philosophical materialism by maintaining that Reality is a creation of the Mind. Despite its flourishing under the leadership of Hegel, Fichte, Schopenhauer, and Schelling, Idealism had definitely fallen into decline late in the nineteenth century and early in the twentieth. May Sinclair, the writer of many popular but philosophically provocative novels and part-time World War I ambulance corps-person, was an unlikely one to take up the torch of the old school and try to revive it yet again for the twentieth century. Most notably, in this treatise she tried to formulate a union of Idealistic Monism with the New Realism as epitomized by Bertrand Russell and his mathematics-based philosophy. How successful she was is a matter for the reader to judge, but this volume and its sequel (The New Idealism) provide fascinating insights into the mind of Sinclair herself, helping the twenty-first century reader better to understand this highly significant author as she wrote in the very midst of the Great War. - Summary by Expatriate

Jr. Senior Master Sergeant...

An inspiring memoir of promises kept, overcoming obstacles, and what it means to sacrifice for others, written by a Special Warfare Operator with the Air Force.When Israel “DT” Del Toro, Jr.'s Humvee rolled over a roadside IED in Afghanistan, he had one thought as he lost consciousness: I have to keep the promise I made to my dad. DT was orphaned at the age of fourteen, and on the night before his father died, he repeated the promise his dad required: “Take care of your brothers and sisters.”Throughout his childhood and into adulthood, DT indeed looked after his younger brother and sisters, even to his own detriment and sacrifice. When he enlisted in the Air Force, progressing in ranks as a skilled marksman calling airstrikes, his promise extended to his brothers and sisters in the Air Force, his fellow soldiers and brothers-in-arms.When DT was injured in action, he lay in a coma for three months with third-degree burns on 80% of his body. He nearly died three times, and doctors predicted – if he survived – he would forever breathe with a respirator and never walk again. DT pushed through every limit to his full recovery, and he became the first 100% disabled veteran to re-enlist in the Air Force.DT's promise to his dad extends now to his fellow wounded warriors throughout the world, as he advocates for awareness and affecting change in public policy for wounded, injured, and ill soldiers. He is a patriot who has kept his promise and changed the world with the spirit of his heart, soul, body, and mind.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

A New History of Slavery

Jouko Jokisalo, Pekka Isaksson

Slavery in Europe and the Americas was not abolished by the enlightened popular movements. It was destroyed by the resistance and countless rebellions by the enslaved people. A New History of Slavery traces the institution of human bondage from antiquity to the present day, revealing how profoundly it has shaped global history and, above all, setting the record straight on how the horror of Atlantic slave trade was eliminated.
The story of slavery’s end has too often been told as a triumph of Christian morality or industrial progress. The factor that has often been almost completely erased from histories, is the role of the enslaved themselves. A New History of Slavery restores their agency. Through rebellion, sabotage, escape, and everyday acts of defiance, enslaved people relentlessly resisted their oppression. Across North America alone, more than 300 slave uprisings erupted, with many more in the Caribbean and roughly one in every tenth ship that sailed from Africa towards the America with a cargo of slaves. Every one of these thousands of rebellions was a declaration of humanity in the face of dehumanization.
A New History of Slavery forces everybody to ask, whether the 1801 and 1805 constitutions of St Domingue/Haiti were only footnotes of history, or whether they should be considered equal or even more important universal steps in humanity’s progress as the US constitution in 1776 and the French revolution in 1789.
Slavery is not a closed chapter of history. It is a deep, brutal wound whose scars still shape the world we live in. The issue has suddenly become more current and acute because even open and legalized slavery might make a comeback into the world via fundamentalist movements like Taliban and Boko Haram.
