{"product_id":"thomas-mann-in-english-david-horton-9781501318702","title":"Thomas Mann in English: A Study in Literary Translation","description":"Thomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation. Indeed, it was the monumental success of the original English translations that earned him the title of 'the greatest living man of letters' during his years in American exile (1938-52). This book provides the first systematic exploration of the English versions, illustrating the vicissitudes of literary translation through a principled discussion of a major author. The study illuminates the contexts in which the translations were produced before exploring the transformations Mann's work has undergone in the process of transfer. An exemplary analysis of selected textual dimensions demonstrates the multiplicity of factors which impinge upon literary translation, leading far beyond the traditional preoccupation with issues of equivalence. \u003ci\u003eThomas Mann in English\u003c\/i\u003ethus fills a gap both in translation studies, where Thomas Mann serves as a constant but ill-defined point of reference, and in literary studies, which has focused increasingly on the author's wider reception.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Horton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501318705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501318702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"David Horton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159403884799,"sku":"9781501318702","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79eff873-ce39-47c9-8670-c898573b7837.jpg?v=1689082399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thomas-mann-in-english-david-horton-9781501318702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
