Contemporary World Fiction: A Guide to Literature in Translation

Autor Juris Dilevko, Keren Dali, Glenda Garbutt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mar 2011 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This much-needed guide to translated literature offers readers the opportunity to hear from, learn about, and perhaps better understand our shrinking world from the perspective of insiders from many cultures and traditions.In a globalized world, knowledge about non-North American societies and cultures is a must. Contemporary World Fiction: A Guide to Literature in Translation provides an overview of the tremendous range and scope of translated world fiction available in English. In so doing, it will help readers get a sense of the vast world beyond North America that is conveyed by fiction titles from dozens of countries and language traditions.Within the guide, approximately 1,000 contemporary non-English-language fiction titles are fully annotated and thousands of others are listed. Organization is primarily by language, as language often reflects cultural cohesion better than national borders or geographies, but also by country and culture. In addition to contemporary titles, each chapter features a brief overview of earlier translated fiction from the group. The guide also provides in-depth bibliographic essays for each chapter that will enable librarians and library users to further explore the literature of numerous languages and cultural traditions.

This text, subtitled A Guide to Literature in Translation, offers valuable information on a vast amount of work from Africa, East Asia, the Mediterranean, Russia, Latin America, and elsewhere. For each book covered, the text details common styles and tropes, as well as past reviews.
This is an excellent introductory reference work to contemporary world literature not originally published in English. Dilevko, Keren Dali, and Glenda Garbutt, all affiliated with the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, make no attempt to provide an encyclopedic overview but rather present a solid groundwork for both the casual reader and the academic student. . . . Highly recommended for the casual reader wishing to discover international contemporary fiction and for students of literature.
The authors, all connected with the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto, have produced a unique and useful reference book. . . . Large public and all academic libraries will find this an essential purchase for their reference collection.
