Like Criticism, Translation Is Always A Text About A Text And Hence It Is A Metatext. We Translate By Intuition. There Is No Science Of Translating Though There Are Scientific Theories Of Translation. In This Book, The Author Has Made A Thorough Analysis Of Various Aspects Of Translation Studies Both In The East And The West. Apart From Making A Background Study Of Translation, He Has Analysed Translation As Creative Writing, As Linguistic Bridge-Building And As Nation Building. The Author Has Devoted A Chapter Each To The Important Subjects: Theory And Practice Of Translation: The Indian Context, Comparative Literature And Translation Studies: A Correlation, The Role Of The Translator, A Critique Of Translation Theories And Above All, The Place Of Translation In The Twenty-First Century In The Global Context. This Is An Incisive And Well Researched Book On Translation Studies In Our Country.
