Entre um corpo e a sua sombra

As palavras extraordinárias de Anne Carson sobre o trabalho de tradução: «A translator is someone trying to get in between a body and its shadow. Translating is a task of imitation that faces in two directions at once, for it must line itself up with the solid body of the original text and at the same time with the shadow of that text where it falls across another language. Shadows fall and move.»
