What if the book you’re reading… isn’t what

What if the book you’re reading… isn’t what the author wrote?

When you pick up a translated book, you’re not just reading a direct translation. It’s an interpretation of the original. Some translators may aim for perfect accuracy while others may focus on capturing the emotions and deeper meanings behind the words.

A great example of this would be the French word ‘dépaysement’. While it literally translates to ‘decountrification’ or ‘a change of scene’, it’s real meaning is much deeper than that. In French, this word is used to refer to the disorientation of being in a new place or the feeling of being an outsider. A direct translation wouldn’t fully capture this nuance which is why translators often choose words that reflect the feeling rather than the literal meaning.

Hi everyone! I’m so sad that this is my last Slovenian read of the month but it was such an amazing book to end it with 😃. The Fig Tree by Goran Vojnović is a beautiful story about Jadran, a man in his thirties as he discovers his family history while navigating his future.
