Steven Harvey's words illuminate and entertain as he ruminates on such topics as love of family, of students and teaching, of place and tradition, and of how language itself can transform experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeparate as the essays are, they all tell the same story, and though they bear different titles, they all could be called \"Lost in Translation.\" In each essay, the self is brought against a new world or two worlds into conflict, the soul shedding a husk of its former life in the encounter. Such losses, the essays say, are the leavings of our changes and the price we pay for becoming. Some part of our true selves, Harvey notes, finds voice only in such translations--in engagement with others on others' terms--and this is the part we cannot live without.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820318906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820318905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.77h x 5.75w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/09\/1997 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1997 pg. 82","brand":"Steven Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46311025705215,"sku":"9780820318905","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_344746b8-a680-4fbe-a3dd-799d262f1dc8.jpg?v=1730887895","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-in-translation-steven-harvey-9780820318905","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
