Is That a Fish in Your Ear: The Amazing Adventure of Translation

How do we really make ourselves understood to other people? This question is at the heart of David Bellos' funny, wise and life-affirming language book, which shows how, from puns to poetry, news bulletins to the Bible, Asterix to Swedish films, translation is at the heart of everything we do — and makes us who we are. It was selected by The New York Times as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2011. A wonderful, witty book... richly original, endlessly fascinating... for anyone interested in words.
