Littéraire, non littéraire: Enjeux traductologiques d’une problématique transdisciplinaire (Regards sur la traduction)
by Isabelle CollombatLittéraire, non littéraire aborde les aires de divergence et de convergence, les différences et les confluences entre le littéraire et le non littéraire dans la perspective d’une application à la traduction et à la traductologie. Cette réflexion épistémologique est alimentée non seulement par l’apport de traductologues, mais aussi par ceux de chercheuses et de chercheurs issus des domaines extérieurs ou connexes à la traductologie et dont cette dernière se nourrit – en l’occurrence, le droit, la lexicologie, la théorie littéraire (narratologie et histoire littéraire) et la philosophie.Le pari de ce collectif est double : d’une part, il cherche à illustrer de manière concrète comment peut fonctionner et évoluer la traductologie en tant qu’interdiscipline, voire polydiscipline, par le simple fait de réunir dans un seul ouvrage des contributions complémentaires qui, prises ensemble ou séparément, peuvent inspirer de nouvelles avenues aux traductologues. D’autre part, il vise à mettre en évidence l’urgente nécessité de repenser la traductologie dans une perspective décloisonnée.Préfacé par Christiane Nord, traductologue incarnant aujourd’hui l’héritage de la traductologie fonctionnaliste allemande, cet ouvrage réunit traductologues et non-traductologues autour de la traductologie et des vastes enjeux qu’elle embrasse, ceux-ci étant souvent sous-estimés ou méconnus en-dehors de la sphère traductologique.

Little Birds with Broken Wings
by David Martin"These pages represent the accumulated wisdom of more than thirty years that David Martin has spent as a writer, teacher, editor, and inspiration. Fine Lines (a literary journal) has been his gift to the world, a champion of literacy and lyricism, a 'lighthouse' to countless writers of all ages, from all over the globe, but it is not his only gift. In this collection of his writing, Martin invites us to see the world through his attentive eyes, bearing witness to what endures, what matters: a mother's love, the flicker of a firefly, the mystery of a dream, a beloved teacher, a triumphant student, the power of myth, and most of all, the written word. Inside his vision, readers are shown the richness, challenges, and rewards of the individual's effort to write, as he says, 'my own internal rhythms and play my own tunes.' This book is a song, a gift, in which we can all take pleasure." -Dr. John Price, Department of English, University of Nebraska at Omaha

The Little Black Book of Writers' Wisdom
by Steven D. PriceAuthor and journalist Gene Fowler put it best: "Writing is easy; all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead." Anyone who has ever wanted or been required to create something more complicated than a shopping list or a Tweet knows there's more truth than poetry in the observation. The process can be difficult, frustratingly so when we realize that although we use words all the time, coming up with the right ones can be a daunting task.Even the most celebrated writers have reflected on this creative process, and their observations and conclusions are collected in this book. The compiler, himself no stranger to a blank page or computer screen, has selected the wisest and wittiest utterances on such subjects as why we write (Ernest Hemingway: "I have a good life but I must write because if I do not write a certain amount I do not enjoy the rest of my life."); how to write (Anton Chekhov: "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."); and writing for money (Cormac McCarthy: "I never had any doubts about my abilities. I knew I could write. I just had to figure out how to eat while doing this.").It has been said that reading won't make you a good writer, but it will make you a better writer. Dip into this lively and useful treasure trove, and you'll be well on your way.

A Little Book for New Historians: Why and How to Study History (Little Books Series)

How does it become part of our own? In A Little Book for New Historians veteran historian Robert Tracy McKenzie offers a concise, clear, and beautifully written introduction to the study of history. In addition to making a case for the discipline in our pragmatic, "present-tense" culture, McKenzie lays out necessary skills, methods, and attitudes for historians in training. Loaded with concrete examples and insightful principles, this primer shows how the study of history, faithfully pursued, can shape your heart as well as your mind.

by Robert HassAn acute and deeply insightful book of essays exploring poetic form and the role of instinct and imagination within form—from former poet laureate, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winning author Robert Hass.Robert Hass—former poet laureate, winner of the National Book Award, and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize—illuminates the formal impulses that underlie great poetry in this sophisticated, graceful, and accessible volume of essays drawn from a series of lectures he delivered at the renowned Iowa Writers’ Workshop.A Little Book on Form brilliantly synthesizes Hass’s formidable gifts as both a poet and a critic and reflects his profound education in the art of poetry.
