The Translator's Handbook: With Special Reference to Conference Translation from French and Spanish

Practical hints on the tricks of the translation trade are not easy to come by, but The Translator's Handbook is intended to be just that — a vade-mecum for daily use, to be kept within easy reach. The old hand momentarily at a loss may find just the right synonym among the selection offered. The less experienced but eager translator will find here in addition a wealth of information on the day-to-day problems of turning French and Spanish into English, written in an easy, readable style that imparts instruction without appearing to do so.

Frederick Fuller has served as a United Nations translator, Language Supervisor for the British Broadcasting Corporation during World War II, and a British Council lecturer in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. Mr. Fuller studied Romance and Germanic philology at Liverpool, Munich, the Sorbonne, and Harvard.
