Book Description
Love Lost in Translation systematically examines the biblical stories and passages that are generally assumed to deal with, or comment on, homoerotic relationships: Noah and Ham, Sodom and Gomorrah, Leviticus 18:22, Deuteronomy 23:17-18, Judges 19, Romans 1:26-27, and 1 Corinthians 6:9. K. Renato Lings convincingly demonstrates that mistranslations of these texts into Greek, Latin and other languages occurred early, and that serious errors continue to be committed by translators today. This explains the painful controversy about same-sex relationships, which has rocked Christian churches for decades.

Book Description
A novel of searing intelligence and startling originality, Lost in Translation heralds the debut of a unique new voice on the literary landscape. Nicole Mones creates an unforgettable story of love and desire, of family ties and human conflict, and of one woman's struggle to lose herself in a foreign land--only to discover her home, her heart, herself. At dawn in Beijing, Alice Mannegan pedals a bicycle through the deserted streets. An American by birth, a translator by profession, she spends her nights in Beijing's smoke-filled bars, and the Chinese men she so desires never misunderstand her intentions. All around her rushes the air of China, the scent of history and change, of a world where she has come to escape her father's love and her own pain. It is a world in which, each night as she slips from her hotel, she hopes to lose herself forever. For Alice, it began with a phone call from an American archaeologist seeking a translator. And it ended in an intoxicating journey of the heart--one that would plunge her into a nation's past, and into some of the most rarely glimpsed regions of China. Hired by an archaeologist searching for the bones of Peking Man, Alice joins an expedition that penetrates a vast, uncharted land and brings Professor Lin Shiyang into her life. As they draw closer to unearthing the secret of Peking Man, as the group's every move is followed, their every whisper recorded, Alice and Lin find shelter in each other, slowly putting to rest the ghosts of their pasts. What happens between them becomes one of the most breathtakingly erotic love stories in recent fiction. Indeed, Lost in Translation is a novel about love--between a nation and its past, between a man and a memory, between a father and a daughter. Its powerful impact confirms the extraordinary gifts of a master storyteller, Nicole Mones.

Book Description
From the author of Eating the Sun, an artistic collection of more than 50 drawings featuring unique, funny, and poignant foreign words that have no direct translation into English Did you know that the Japanese language has a word to express the way sunlight filters through the leaves of trees? Or that there’s a Finnish word for the distance a reindeer can travel before needing to rest? Lost in Translation brings to life more than fifty words that don’t have direct English translations with charming illustrations of their tender, poignant, and humorous definitions. Often these words provide insight into the cultures they come from, such as the Brazilian Portuguese word for running your fingers through a lover’s hair, the Italian word for being moved to tears by a story, or the Swedish word for a third cup of coffee. In this clever and beautifully rendered exploration of the subtleties of communication, you’ll find new ways to express yourself while getting lost in the artistry of imperfect translation.

Book Description
The late poet and memoirist Czeslaw Milosz wrote, "I am enchanted. This book is graceful and profound." Since its publication in 1989, many other readers across the world have been enchanted by Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language, a classic of exile and immigrant literature, as well as a girl’s coming-of-age memoir. Lost in Translationmoves from Hoffman's childhood in Cracow, Poland to her adolescence in Vancouver, British Columbia to her university years in Texas and Massachusetts to New York City, where she becomes a writer and an editor at the New York Times Book Review. Its multi-layered narrative encompasses many themes: the defining power of language; the costs and benefits of changing cultures, the construction of personal identity, and the profound consequences, for a generation of post-war Jews like Hoffman, of Nazism and Communism. Lost in Translation is, as Publisher's Weekly wrote, "a penetrating, lyrical memoir that casts a wide net," challenges its reader to reconsider their own language, autobiography, cultures, and childhoods. Lost in Translation was first published in the United States in 1989. Hoffman’s subsequent books of literary non-fiction include Exit into History, Shtetl, After Such Knowledge, Time and two novels, The Secret and Appassionata. "Nothing, after all, has been lost; poetry this time has been made in and by translation." — Peter Conrad, The New York Times "Handsomely written and judiciously reflective, it is testimony to the human capacity not merely to adapt but to reinvent: to find new lives for ourselves without forfeiting the dignity and meaning of our old ones." — Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post "As a childhood memoir, Lost in Translation has the colors and nuance of Nabokov'sSpeak, Memory. As an account of a young mind wandering into great books, it recalls Sartre's Words. … As an anthropology of Eastern European émigré life, American academe and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, it's every bit as deep and wicked as anything by Cynthia Ozick. … A brilliant, polyphonic book that is itself an act of faith, a Bach Fugue." — John Leonard, Harper’s Magazine

Book Description
Stuck. That's how 33-year-old aspiring singer Celeste Duncan feels, with her deadbeat boyfriend and static career. But then Celeste receives a puzzling phone call and a box full of mysterious family heirlooms which just might be the first real clue to the identity of the father she never knew. Impulsively, Celeste flies to Japan to search for a long-lost relative who could be able to explain. She stumbles head first into a weird, wonderful world where nothing is quite as it seems—a land with an inexplicable fascination with foreigners, karaoke boxes, and unbearably perky TV stars. With little knowledge of Japanese, Celeste finds a friend in her English-speaking homestay brother, Takuya, and comes to depend on him for all variety of translation, travel and investigatory needs.

Book Description
A thrilling sci-fi novel of communication and learned trust between human and alien Kathryn was a human empath whose world and life had been destroyed when, as a young child, she watched helplessly as the alien S’sinn slaughtered her parents before her very eyes. Only the Translators, an elite guild of empaths, were able to free her from the trauma and give her a new life. Jarrikk was a young S’sinn, an unproven warrior who saw his flight mates slaughtered by the humans who sought to colonize his world. Crippled so that he could never fly again, he would have chosen death, but he wasn’t allowed a choice. Instead, he too was trained to be a Translator. As humans and S’sinn find themselves poised on the brink of a war that could not only destroy their own species, but also disrupt the delicate balance of the multiracial Commonwealth, these two Translators—who have every reason to hate one another—must work together to find a common ground and avert catastrophe. But whether their Translators’ oath and training can overcome the enemies leagued against them remains to be seen.

Book Description
God Interpreters: No Love Lost in Translation is a book that is pragmatic, innovative, and instructional. Using biblical concepts, it makes the unseen realm both visible and tangible. In this book, you are invited to get to know the Holy Spirit as a person, not an impersonal force but rather a friend, comforter, counselor, guide, teacher, and constant helper. Mathias shares what he calls the “sequence of three.” The first is to recognize God’s voice, then to understand what He is saying, and then how to respond to His voice. There is always a responsibility that comes with responding to His voice. In John 10:27, it says, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.” Part of God knowing us is also knowing how He speaks to us so we can understand Him and understand His voice. A voice is the sound that communicates the content of a language. Language has four primary ways to communicate with us: verbal, nonverbal, written, and visual. God’s language is expressed in all of these ways. As we experience an increase in revelation being poured out in these days (Acts 2), we will also be experiencing the sequence of three in prophetic revelation: godly revelation, soulish prophecy, and false prophecy. God Interpreters: No Love Lost in Translation will give practical insight and a wisdom perspective on the Office of the Prophet, the seven-mountain mandate, how to function in the marketplace, prophecy and healing in the workplace, and manifesting the invisible God. The questions for reflection at the end of each chapter enable you to think through the content and will benefit those who take the time to contemplate them. —Aaron and Jill-Marie Evans, The Emerging Daniel Company Int’l

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, The University of Arizona, language: English, abstract: Given the popularity of Grimms’ fairy tales and the status of English as a lingua franca, it is only logical that there are a number of translations and adaptations from German into English. This will be the focus of my paper, in which I am dealing with the cultural frameworks that underlie a translator’s decision to translate a well-known story in a certain way over another. In other words, why is it that Rumpelstiltskin does not burst in two halves in most English versions of the fairy tale? Why did Disney see the need to let a fairy godmother help Cinderella and not some kind-hearted doves? And why is it ‘true love’s kiss’ that awakens Snow White instead of the servants’ clumsiness while carrying the coffin? "Something gets lost in translation, and in translating and editing these “rediscovered” tales I have endeavored to recast them as closely as I could to the originals. At the same time I felled compelled to provide transitions and slight changes to make them comprehensible for an English-speaking audience. Now, though in a foreign tongue, they speak for themselves – to provoke and to entertain." This is how Jack Zipes introduces his translation of Grimms’ Kinder- und Hausmärchen, a collection of fairy tales compiled and edited by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm between 1812 and 1857. His take on the translation of Grimms’ fairy tales, easily the most famous collections of fairy and folk tales in the Western world, is one of the topics that I will be concerned with in the following paper. It is only “one” of the topics because every translator’s approach is different from all others, and while there are those like Zipes who want to stay as close to the original as possible and provide a ‘literal’ translation of a work, there are others who not only ‘translate’ the language of a story, but also its content, in order to fit more easily with the cultural background of the intended readership.
