Based on a series of lectures on translation, these essays are discussions on the difficulties of translating faithfully. Using examples from classic literary texts including his own novels, Eco examines the rights and wrongs, the misunderstandings and the 'negotiations' needed in order to translate.

Umberto Eco s first novel, The Name of the Rose (1982), was a huge bestseller which brought him worldwide acclaim. With his subsequent works of fiction, philosophy, literary criticism and semiotics, he has been recognised as one of Europe s finest thinkers. He is currently President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Humanistici and the University of Bologna. He is also known for his lavishly illustrated anthologies, On Beauty, On Ugliness, The Infinity of Lists and The Book of Legendary Lands.
