Gala Arias Local time: 15:41 Polish to Spanish + ...
Sep 1, 2009
Hello everybody:
My name is Gala Arias and I'm a translator from Spain. I am now working in my PdH degree and I have to find out the origin of this quotation from Umberto Eco:
Translation is the art of failure
Can you inform me about the name of the book where it appears? Do you know how is it in english?
Many thanks in advance. ¡Gracias por todo!
Un saludo,
Gala.

Dire quasi la stessa cosa
Sep 1, 2009
The sentence is taken from the book "Dire quasi la stessa cosa. Esperienze di traduzione" (2003). It has been translated into Spanish (Decir casi lo mismo)
As far as I can remember, the sentence in the book is "La traduzione è lì'arte del compromesso" (unfortunately, the book wasn't mine and I dont'have it anymore).
I'm not sure, but the sentence you mention comes from some article, rather than from a book.
