If This Be Magic


Why might Hamlet be even longer in Italian? How does the story of Romeo and Juliet begin . . . in Thai? How do you build a joke in German, or recreate a rhyme in Japanese? And why are Lady Macbeth's pronouns such a proble? hat does it mean to translate Shakespeare? When we change all the poetry, all the wordplay, all the syntax - all the words! - is it still Shakespeare? And is it still any good? Daniel Hahn, seasoned translator and Shakespeare fanatic, will change the way you think about language itself. Ranging widely across Shakespeare's works, and across the world's languages, this book explores why we choose the words we do and what effect they have. No knowledge of any particular language is required, though a bit of patience for the nerdiest of close reading is desirable. This micro-attention to detail reveals anew the joy of Shakespeare, celebrates creativity and revels in the power of words.

Lovers will learn their fate.

Helen Zhang azóta nem találkozott Grant Sheparddel, hogy tizenhárom évvel korábban egy tragikus baleset örökre összekötötte az életüket. Teljesül egy álma, amikor bekerül népszerű ifjúságiregény-sorozata tévés adaptációjának írói közé. Grant mindent megtett annak érdekében, hogy túllépjen a múltján. Tudja, hogy nem kellett volna elvállalnia a munkát Helen műsorában, csakhogy ez a lehetőség olyan ajtókat nyithat meg előtte, amiknek segítségével a saját projektjeit is kibontakoztathatja.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand - Hogyan randizzunk az egyéjszakás kalandunkkal? - Hogyan randizzunk? 3.


Az egyéjszakás kalandok első és legfontosabb szabálya: ne szeress bele a nőbe! Egy hosszúra nyúló magánéleti válságot követően végre megismerkedtem valakivel, akitől szikra gyúlt a bensőmben. Jobban mondva, a szikrák akkor pattantak ki, amikor összetűzésbe keveredtünk. Majd később - még aznap éjszaka - lángra lobbantak. Egyetlen nő sem volt még rám olyan hatással, mint Devyn. Mondanom sem kell, mennyire lelombozott, amikor egy csodás, együtt töltött éjszaka után egyszerűen faképnél hagyott. Képtelen voltam elfelejteni, de ő még a számát sem adta meg. Azt hittem, sosem találkozunk újra. Ezért képzelhetitek, mennyire megdöbbentem, amikor az egyik szomszédom ajtaján kopogtatva nem más nyitott ajtót, mint ő. Korábban azt hittem, hogy Devynt egyszerűen nem érdeklem. De szerinted mit érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy én vagyok a főbérlője, és éppen ki akarom lakoltatni...?
