«After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation» is George Steiner's essay, published by Oxford Paperbacks in paperback (560 pages, in English).
George Steiner analyzes translation as an essential operation of language and questions modern linguistics: each community keeps in its language a shared secret, born of the instinct for privacy and territory. He also studies interpretation, from basic conditions to complex linguistic constructions.
Second revised edition, with updated bibliography and a new preface by the author. The work was originally published in 1975.
Reference work for students and researchers in linguistics, literary theory and translation studies.
Francis George Steiner, FBA was a French and American literary critic, essayist, philosopher, novelist and educator. He wrote extensively about the relationship between language, literature and society, as well as the impact of the Holocaust. A 2001 article in The Guardian described Steiner as a "polyglot and polymath".
