Portrait of a Translator as an adventurer: discoveries of Irish literature and culture

Abstract

What follows is a briefly expanded version derived from a short talk given at XIV ABEI and II AEIS Symposium of Irish Studies in South America, held at USP on August 14, 2019. I reflect on my experience both as a professor of translation and literature of English-speaking countries and – in this specific case – as a translator of texts by Irish authors and by different scholars and professionals who discuss Irish life, culture and society.
