Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche
MoreLong description:
Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche offers the most comprehensive collection of translation theory readings available to date, from the Histories of Herodotus in the mid-5th century to the end of the 19th century. This work provides a rich panoply of thinking about translation across the centuries, covering such topics as the best type of translator, problems of translating sacred texts, translation and language teaching, translation as rhetoric, translation and empire, and translation and gender. This pioneering anthology contains over 140 texts with 30 new ones included in this edition. 21 texts by 18 authors appear here for the first time in English translation. Every entry includes a bibliographical headnote and footnotes. Intended for classroom use in History of Translation Theory, History of Rhetoric, or History of Western Thought courses, this anthology is also key reading for scholars of translation and those interested in the intellectual history of the West.
"This revised and expanded edition of Douglas Robinson?s seminal anthology Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche is extremely welcome as the field of Translation Studies seeks to expand its conception of translation theory and of who is authorized to theorize. The inclusion of more women translator-theorists and of more translator-theorists from Eastern Europe make it an invaluable resource for researchers and educators alike."
Brian Baer, Kent State University
