Description:
Cet ouvrage interroge un phénomène qui prend toute son ampleur au cours du XXe siècle et en ce début de XXIe siècle, celui de la retraduction des livres destinés à un jeune public. Il montre combien la retraduction participe à la canonisation d'un bon nombre d'oeuvres nationales, au-delà du monde anglophone, du Brésil jusqu'à la Suède.
This volume engages with a phenomenon which has reached its full scope over the 20th century and into the 21st century, that of the retranslation of books intended for children. It shows that retranslation has contributed to the canonization of a number of national works beyond the English-speaking world (from Brazilian to Swedish literature).
Review Quotes: «All in all, the volume is an important first step toward the elucidation of a highly complex subject.»
