De la contraportada

'This book makes a powerful case for ending the "theory vs practice" divide and offers practitioners and theorists of translation alike the tools for reflecting on their own practice. Basil Hatim's new edition of what has become a standard work offers an important new chapter on the translation of style and action-research ways of investigating it.'

Ian Mason, Professor Emeritus, Heriot-Watt University
