“This meticulously thorough, multi-faceted model of Arabic-English translation brings an invaluable, illuminating, problem-solving, practical methodology to the field, clearly and richly illustrated by resonant case studies.” (Kamilla Elliott, Professor of Literature and Media, English Literature and Creative Writing, Lancaster University, UK)
“Literary Translation in Practice is a contribution that reflects the author's own experience of teaching university level students in the Middle East universities. Based on this background, the author has brought out a treasure trove of study material where the students will be exposed not only to the short stories translated in English, but also the original source material in Arabic. They can experience at firsthand the difficulties of translating ideas across cultures. ('Lost in Translation' is a real pitfall.) This book will lead to more critical thinking among readers and enrich their experience.” (Kajal Chakravarti, Associate Professor, Retired Head of Department of English, Ferguson College, Pune, India)
