Recenzii
In
the
guise
of
a
book
about
translation
this
is
a
richly
original
cultural
history
...
A
book
for
anyone
interested
in
words,
language
and
cultural
anthropology.
Mr
Bellos's
fascination
with
his
subject
is
itself
endlessly
fascinating
For anyone with a passing interest in language this work is enthralling ... A wonderful celebration of the sheer diversity of language and the place it occupies in human endeavour. Conducted by a man who clearly knows his stuff, it is a whirlwind tour round the highways and byways of translation in all its glorious forms, from literary fiction to car repair manuals, from the Nuremberg trials to decoding at Bletchley Park
Bellos has numerous paradoxes, anecdotes and witty solutions ... his insights are thought provoking, paradoxical and a brilliant exposition of mankind's attempts to deal with the Babel of global communication
[A] witty, erudite exploration...[Bellos] delights in [translation's] chequered past and its contemporary ubiquity...He would like us to do more of it. With the encouragement of this book, we might even begin to enjoy it
Is That A Fish In Your Ear?is spiced with good and provocative things. At once erudite and unpretentious...[it is a] scintillatingbouillabaisse
Is That A Fish in Your Ear?by David Bellos (father of Alex ofNumberlandfame) is a fascinating book on the world of translation that might well be this year'sJust My Type
Selected byThe Times''Daily Universal Register' as a 'Try This' Book
A fascinating...very readable study of the mysterious art and business of translation...Bellos asks big questions...and comes up with often surprising answers...sparky, thought-provoking
Forget the fish-it's David Bellos you want in your ear when the talk is about translation. Bellos dispels many of the gloomy truisms of the trade and reminds us what an infinitely flexible instrument the English language (or any language) is. Sparkling, independent-minded analysis of everything from Nabokov's insecurities to Google Translate's felicities fuels a tender-even romantic-account of our relationship with words.
Is That a Fish in Your Ear?offers a lively survey of translating puns and poetry, cartoons and legislation, subtitles, news bulletins and the Bible
Please read David Bellos's brilliant book
A clear and lively survey...This book fulfils a real need; there is nothing quite like it.
In his marvellous study of the nature of translation...[David Bellos] has set out to make it fun...Essential reading for anyone with even a vague interest in language and translation - in short, it is a triumph
A dazzyingly inventive book
Witty and perceptive...stimulating, lucid, ultimately cheering
Superbly smart, supremely shrewd
Selected as a National Book Critics' Circle Award Criticism Finalist 2011
