Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Proteus: His Lies, His Truth, Discussions of Literary Translation ? A Study Investigating the Problems of Translation by Robert M. Adams. Published by Norton in 1973. CLEAN X LIBRARY. Brilliant and thought-provoking essays exploring the problems, implications and results of Literary Translations ? "Proteus - His Lies, His Truth; Discussions of Literary Translation" by Robert M. Adam, was published in 1973 by W. W. Norton & Company. From the jacket write-up: "We depend on translations for all that we know of other cultures; we turn to the latest African novel or Russian poem with excitement; yet most of us are unaware of the translator's problems. What can we hope to get and what must we expect to miss in a literary translation? Is a translation successful simply because it is colloquial, lively, and 'modern'? Robert M. Adams, in his new book, helps us toward answers to these questions - and only he, a distinguished professor of comparative literature, could do so. Because the theory changes, like the sea god Proteus, with each new situation, Adams gives us practical examples to contemplate critically. We see Samuel Beckett translating himself; we watch a French translator struggling with William Faulkner; we compare the many versions of Homer and the Bible. We scrutinize Gide's Hamlet; Baudelaire's and Mallarme's Poe; Ezra Pound's and Robert Lowell's 'imitations'. And each of the many discussions is illuminated by Professor Adam's wit and scholarship. No reader of this book will approach a new translation without some insight into the bargain the translator strikes between his author and his audience."

Catalogue of an exhibition of Robert Adams photographs at Camden Arts Centre, London in June - July 1971. Thirteen works illustrated; Introduction by Charles Spencer. OCLC: 11874386 Gimpel Fils is a London art gallery previously located at 30 Davies Street in Westminster just off Grosvenor Square and has since moved. The gallery was founded by Charles and Peter Gimpel, sons of the celebrated Parisian art dealer, René Gimpel, author of the Diary of an Art Dealer. Throughout its history it has maintained a commitment to contemporary British and International art. Gimpel Fils was founded in November 1946. The first exhibition, Five Centuries of French Painting, was based on the small part of René Gimpel's collection that had been sent to London before the Second World War. The bulk of his stock was lost in Paris.[4]During the 1950s and 60s Gimpel Fils was highly influential in its association with the avant-garde. It supported modern British artists, including those of the St Ives School, as well as rising American artists and French abstract painters of the School of Paris. Gimpel Fils represented many of the major artists of the time, including Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson. Nicholson moved to Gimpel Fils from the Lefevre Gallery and stayed until the early 1960s. In supporting the next generation of artists emerging in this period it gave first exhibitions to Lynn Chadwick, Anthony Caro, Peter Lanyon and Alan Davie, while also being associated with a number of other British artists, including Louis le Brocquy, Ivon Hitchens, Gillian Ayres, Bernard Meadows, Kenneth Armitage and Robert Adams. From France Gimpel Fils represented the likes of Marie Laurencin, Pierre Soulages, Nicolas de Staël, Serge Poliakoff, Fahrelnissa Zeid, and Yves Klein, as well as working with American artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis and Larry Rivers, who had his first London exhibition at the gallery in 1962.
