Guardian Bookshop Notes:
From the world famous author of "The Names Of The Rose" comes an illuminating and humorous study on the pleasures and pitfalls of translation. Filled with little gems about mistranslations and misunderstandings, for example 'Studies in the logic of Charles Sanders Peirce' through an internet translation machine becomes 'Studies in the logic of the Charles of sandpaper grinding machines Peirce'.
