Book Description

May 22, 2000 0820448508 978-0820448503
In the third century B.C.E., translators began retelling the stories of the Hebrew Bible in Greek. The Septuagint was born but its analysis had just begun. To date, most Septuagint translation technique analysis has focused on the linguistic sensitivity of these translators, but there is more to storytelling than linguistics. Translators as Storytellers addresses the literary sensitivity of the translators, thus, expanding the tradition of translation technique analysis to include the translator's replication of characterization, time, the patterning play of words, and the artful use of geography.
