Archipelago Books

A nonprofit press devoted to contemporary & classic world literature

Tarjei Vesaas has written the best Norwegian novel ever, “The Birds” — it is absolutely wonderful, the prose is so simple and so subtle, and the story is so moving that it would have been counted amongst the great classics from the last century if it had been written in one of the major languages.”

— Karl Ove Knausgaard

Translation is…

Categories: News Tags: archipelago books, breytenbach, george steiner, translation, voice over, world literature Leave a comment

Translating is an intense, profound and provocative activity, at times intimate and upsetting, because of the extreme danger that you may lay a hand on the essential being of the other.

George Steiner
