Maria Agnès Ribera Garau (Palma, 1790-1861) era filla d'un ric comerciant. La seva família ordí un pla per desheretar-la i fou obligada a entrar en un convent. En el claustre va adquirir una sòlida formació intel·lectual. Va poder abandonar la clausura gràcies al decret de secularitzacions de 1821, però amb el retorn de l'absolutisme es veié obligada a exiliar-se a França. D'idees liberals, va lluitar durant 12 anys perquè l'Església li anul·lés els seus vots. Es defensà davant el Vaticà fins que li fou reconeguda la seva llibertat per la Santa Seu. D'aleshores ençà es dedicà a escriure i a protegir l'educació de les dones.

The book presents a selection of the works presented during various encounters held in sites connected with the life of Paolo Mantegazza, aimed at retrieving and valorising his cultural legacy. An eclectic figure - scientist, novelist, anthropologist and politician - Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910) played a leading role in Italian society and the cultural scene of the late nineteenth century. The contributions of academics from different disciplines enable us to reconstruct both the great variety of the man’s interests and curiosities, and the strict methodological rigour that guided his entire scientific production and is today the most evident sign of his contemporary relevance.

This book, the result of a lengthy labour of cataloguing and research, continues the indexing and recording of the unpublished epistolary material conserved in the Dessí fond, launched in 2003 by Chiara Andrei with the edition of the family correspondence (Firenze, FUP). Now, through 1,900 letters from friends and readers, Francesca Nencioni offers a different and more ample overview of the fundamental stages in the life and works of the writer, focusing above all on the years of his university training in Pisa. Of particular interest is the appendix of carefully annotated unpublished texts, which offers 19 letters from Dessí to friends and scholars, the complete two-way correspondence with Walter Binni, and the letters sent to the friend and disciple of the great historian, Delio Cantimori. Press reviews: 26/10/2009: Dessì e la voce "lontana e bianca" del 1955 12/2009: "L'immaginazione" n. 251

"This volume extends and deepens our understanding of Translator Studies by charting new territory in terms of theory, methods and concepts. The focus is on literary translators, their roles, identities, and personalities. The book introduces pertinent translator-centered approaches in four sections: historical-biographical studies, social-scientific and process-oriented methods and approaches that use paratexts or translations to study literary translators. Drawing on a variety of concepts, such as identity, role, self, posture, habitus, and voice, the various chapters showcase forgotten literary translators and shed new light on some well-known figures; they examine literary translators not as functioning units but as human beings in their uniqueness. Literary Translator Studies as a subdiscipline of Translation Studies demonstrates how exploring the cultural, social, psychological, and cognitive facets of translatorial subjects contributes to a holistic understanding of translation"--

Carmen Martín Gaite, además de novelista, poeta y ensayista, fue una esmerada traductora de textos literarios. Traducir significó para ella situarse en el punto ideal de encuentro entre lectura y escritura, con ánimo de ‘contar’ lo que había leído. Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio sistemático sobre la labor traductora de Carmen Martín Gaite, ya sea como tarea práctica ya sea como elaboración de una teoría implícita de la traducción, en la que destacan el planteamiento irreductiblemente literario de la escritora y su identificación con el lector. Así mismo, la presentación cronológica del corpus completo de sus traducciones permite trazar la trayectoria de una biografía intelectual en la que todo lo leído activa un potencial creativo y de reflexión que desencadena una compleja intertextualidad, ofreciendo una perspectiva eficaz para arrojar luz sobre su obra ‘global’.
