Description

Explore the complex world of translating stories for younger readers with this academic volume from Routledge. While classics like Alice in Wonderland, the works of Astrid Lindgren, Roald Dahl, J.K. Rowling, and Philip Pullman are often viewed through a simple lens, this book treats them as significant literary achievements. It examines how these texts present unique demands for translators that are just as significant as those found in adult literature. This volume investigates the specific hurdles encountered when moving children's stories across languages. It provides a detailed look at the different approaches and methods translators use to overcome these obstacles. By applying various translation theories and concepts, such as Even-Zohar's polysystem theory, the text offers a deep look into the professional practice of literary translation. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the technical and creative processes behind world-renowned children's books.
