It consists of three parts. The first explores translation theory, poetry translation, and translator ability; the second discusses cultural importance of language, literature, and translations, as well as the benefits presented by translation; the third is a practical exercise in translation that uses and demonstrates the claims of the previous two parts.enThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
