A New Book on Translation Studies

[Burak,Alexander Lvovich]

Dear SEELANGERS,

Following others' example, I am taking the liberty of calling your attention to my new book with Slavica, "'The Other' in Translation: A Case for Comparative Translation Studies" (October 2013).

Its cover image and brief description can be accessed at: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=burak%20alexander&sprefix=burak%2Cstripbooks%2C278&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Aburak%20alexander 

I am also pasting in its table of contents below.

With best wishes,

Alexander Burak
