Description

Explore the connection between religion, fantasy, and translation in this academic study from Bloomsbury. Eric Reinders examines how Tolkien's legendary works are interpreted through Chinese translations, treating these versions as unique stories in their own right. By analyzing translations of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin, and The Unfinished Tales, the book uncovers new perspectives that add depth to the original texts. Through a method of back-translating Chinese text into English, Reinders investigates the mechanics of meaning and the shared conceptual grounds of fantasy literature. This work provides a deep look at how the suspension of disbelief functions across different languages and cultures, making it a valuable resource for scholars of epic poetry and translation studies.

Eric Reinders uses back-translation methods to reveal how meaning shifts between Chinese and English.
