It shows how rich could a literature be in terms of translation.Through translating shows the rich blend of knowledge and culture in a society.Whether in <a href="http://www.rosettatranslation.com/Portuguese-translation/%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Portuguese translation</a> or in any foreign language translation helps one to get acquainted with the thoughts, traditions, principles and actions of the people from the region..I could say that translators really play a big role in our society.I can't see machines taking over the jobs of human translators in the near future, as they have done with so many other professions.jadehttp://www.rosettatranslation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-5168861848859875572013-01-25T22:27:51.116+08:002013-01-25T22:27:51.116+08:00Hello, Mel!

I´m from Brazil, a huge fan of Eudora Welty´s short stories. <br />I keep a blog about the southern writers, but i love Mansfield and Woolf too. <br />Your blog is going to make me buy the Elizabeth Bowen´s Collected!<br />I´m waiting for the portuguese translation of "Loving", by Henry Green, very well commented by Welty and Bowen.<br /><br />Have you ever read some of the Evan S Connell´s short stories? He´s amazing, very human and delicate. Died this month! Try "Arcturus", or "The Condor and the Guests" (from his first book, superb!)<br /><br />Well, Welty! My favorite story is, with no doubt, "No Place for You, My Love". Then i discovered that magical experience with reality that is "The Golden Apples", and almost all the stories of this book touched me very much.<br />But from her first book, i think "Death of a Traveling Salesman" is amazing and is a kind of key to all of her works.<br /><br />Congratulations for this blog!Enzo Potelhttp://edificilencontrarumblogbom.blogspot.com.br/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-30280631370622621102012-11-01T18:25:43.700+08:002012-11-01T18:25:43.700+08:00That's interesting.

But I did read a story that revolves around a familiar theme, written by Ruth Rendell, except that in the story, the hitch-hiker has an awful reason to really hitch-hike and she ended up dead in the end.

It's called "A Worn Path" and is very poignant.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-52067590282175323252012-10-18T18:42:24.170+08:002012-10-18T18:42:24.170+08:00Joanne Fox-I think you mean "The Petrified Ma...Joanne Fox-I think you mean "The Petrified Man", a great story. thanks so much for your comment<br /><br />Buried in Print-for me it is too time consuming to post on all her stories-I will post on at least ten out of the collection. thanks so much for your comments and visits-I really appreciate it-Mel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-10657626571656988422012-10-18T01:14:12.847+08:002012-10-18T01:14:12.847+08:00Oh!

It impressed me though, and I've been meaning to seek out more. Thanks for the reminder. It's also lovely to see what she looked like.joanne foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694158807826275846noreply@blogger.com
