Natural History by Joan Perucho6/10/2023 I decided to have a look at the holdings of Rosenthal’s translation of Víctor Català’s Solitud, published by Readers International Editions in 1992. When I realized that the archive of the legendary translator David Rosenthal is held at the Biblioteca d’Humanitats at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, I became intrigued with the possibility of gaining insight into his decision-making process, of shedding light on how Rosenthal resolved what David Bellos has termed, “the unfathomable puzzle of how we make ourselves understood to others and to ourselves.” In my current doctoral research, I am immensely grateful for the chance to “get to know” a deceased author through the course of reading fifty years of his correspondence, and as a result I’ve begun to be slightly more intentional about saving drafts, at least digitally. However, what are the trade-offs of our embrace of technology? At times I’ve felt guilty of tossing out the baby with the bath water, when overwriting drafts in such a way that I’d effectively erased my process. Despite the prevailing idea that translations age faster and more poorly than originals-part of the “fetishization of the perfect translation” as Tess Lewis aptly described it-I believe retranslation and respect for translation history need not be antagonistic.Īs 21 st-century translators, I think we can all agree on the advantages of the computer age in terms of ease of research and delivery.

Joycemeyer org battlefield of the mind6/10/2023 The scariest thing in the world would be to think that we could never change. God loves us enough that He’s not going to leave us the way we are. It’s a wonderful freedom when you can make a mistake, be convicted by the Holy Spirit, but not let that conviction turn into condemnation.’Ĭonviction from the Holy Spirit is something that we should deeply appreciate. Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ‘Nobody can make us miserable if we won’t let them. ‘Our happiness is our responsibility,’ says Joyce. On this episode of Enjoying Everyday Life, Joyce Meyer discusses the battles we face in our minds and how God can help us have victory over these attacks. These are all tactics that Satan uses to distract your mind from the peace and courage that God provides. Where else do your thoughts go? Do you fear, get angry, feel depressed, or worry about failure? Maybe it’s the ever looming question of the future. Right now, you are thinking about something. Everything that you say and do begins with the thoughts in your mind.

He died five years before Catherine’s own death. Her leadership was enhanced later in her regime by a collaboration with her long-time lover and partner, Gregory Potemkin, who masterfully helped her shape the Empire. She never waivered however, in her belief that absolute monarchy was the most fitting way to govern Russia. She turned from liberal to conservative to reactionary over time (and as the revolution in France put her in fear of her own position as monarch) but nevertheless left a great legacy to Russia, including the acquisition of a Black Sea port, the importation of European philosophy, literature, art, medicine, education, and at least an introduction to the idea of eventual political reform.

Originally conceived as a book about a bookworm – called A Week with Willi the Worm – the hero, who eats through 26 different foods, was changed to a caterpillar on the advice of his editor. The Very Hungry Caterpillar, published in 1969, was welcomed by parents and children with its story of the metamorphosis of a green and red caterpillar with a touch of blue and brown to a proudly multi-coloured butterfly. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.” Caterpillar is a book of hope: you, too, can grow up and grow wings. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. “In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. “The unknown often brings fear with it,” he once said. Through books such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, Do You Want to Be My Friend? and From Head to Toe, Carle introduced universal themes in simple words and bright colours. Loving thoughts with his family and very much gratitude for Mr Carle.♥️ - Mia Farrow May 26, 2021 Eric Carle has died- but he left us the unforgettable Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear- books i read to my children and now my grandchildren.

But now, he's facing a dangerous quest-to retrieve three golden apples from one magical tree, guarded by a formidable dragon, and bring them back to Perun. An unhappy ispolin, on the verge of leaving his village for good, Goran never thought he would find himself responsible for the future of his kind.
