The recent publication of "Under a crimson sky" by Joe Lansdale (Fanucci) and the upcoming "Run Man Run "by Chester Himes (Prime Meridian), both books translated by Luca Conti (very very active) provide an opportunity to the whole community of readers, I believe, a reflection of the importance of translators. One category that seems to me that too often is likely to be treated by many in the publishing market and information the same way as a tribe of faceless silent workers, workers of the assembly literature. Sure, you say, the translator still stands today, and thank goodness, on the first page of the book - but not on the cover - and yet too infrequently is properly cited the names of those who represent excellence in this field. Done! this rather strange especially when you consider that without Elio Vittorini, so as not naming names, there would have been wonderful translation of "God's Little Acre" by Erskine Caldwell, and not that of Eugenio Montale "To a God Unknown" by John Steinbeck. Sure, you say, Vittorini and Montale addition to translation also had a great reputation as a writer, eh ... eh, okay, so remember to Marisa Caramella - "Women" and "Ham on Rye" by Bukowski, "Tobacco Road" Caldwell, "Collected Stories" by Flannery O'Connor, among other things - Massimo Bocchiola and "his" Nick Hornby and Irvine Welsh, and maybe Luke Conti (Elmore Leonard, James Crumley, Joe R. Lansdale, James Sallis, Chester Himes are just some of the writers he translated) ... and we could go on like this for a while '.
So, speaking of the translators - today as yesterday - it is very important because, in addition to the publishing house, it is they that we have some of our best readings. And because law is often poorly done translations then it would be nice to read or listen to as frequently "in the beautiful translation ... ....."
With all this throws a stone into the pond and say, in your opinion, legendary players, it is our shared this feeling, or is the result of clouded mind of a crack in the odor of alcohol as that of Prime Meridian? What do you think? Get down! The
