ABOUT THE BOOK When I was nine years old, my mother gave me a copy of Black Beauty, the story of a lovable, loyal horse, for Christmas. My imagination was captured by Sewell’s portrayal of a devoted relationship between a horse and his master, and I fantasized about riding and caring for such a beautiful creature someday. Inspired by the book, my brother and I made up a new game: we pretended our bicycles were horses. Mine was named Beauty and my brother named his Merrylegs, after Black Beauty’s friend, the pony. We would leave the house in the morning and pedal to a nearby stream, all the way whinnying and neighing like horses, and giggling ‘til we almost fell off the saddle. Now my brother is gone, and so are our rusty old bikes. But the memories of Black Beauty, my favorite childhood book, will always remain in my heart. MEET THE AUTHOR Dianne is a freelance writer and editor. She is a member of Marin branch of the the California Writers Club and the North Bay Writers Group. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK It’s been one hundred and twenty-five years since the first publication of Black Beauty in 1877, published by Jarold and Sons, a London book publisher. The publisher paid twenty pounds with no provisions for royalties. How sweet it would be if Anna Sewell had lived to know that her “little book” became the most beloved children’s animal story of all time. While there are many descriptions of the cover of the early first editions, the original one is said to have been bound in red, blue or green cloth, and beautifully decorated with a drawing of a horse’s head with bridle and rein. The title is printed in capital letters above the horse’s head. Framing the horse and serving as a border is a golden oat plant intertwined among the slats of a trellis. With forty million copies sold, Black Beauty is said to be the number one best-selling work of fiction written in the English language. It has since been translated into numerous languages including French, German and Italian... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book Translation written by Daniel Weissbort and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translation: Theory and Practice: A Historical Reader responds to the need for a collection of primary texts on translation, in the English tradition, from the earliest times to the present day. Based on an exhaustive survey of the wealth of available materials, the Reader demonstrates throughout the link between theory and practice, with excerpts not only of significant theoretical writings but of actual translations, as well as excerpts on translation from letters, interviews, autobiographies, and fiction. The collection is intended as a teaching tool, but also as an encyclopaedia for the use of translators and writers on translation. It presents the full panoply of approaches to translation, without necessarily judging between them, but showing clearly what is to be gained or lost in each case. Translations of key texts, such as the Bible and the Homeric epic, are traced through the ages, with the same passages excerpted, making it possible for readers to construct their own map of the evolution of translation and to evaluate, in their historical contexts, the variety of approaches. The passages in question are also accompanied by ad verbum versions, to facilitate comparison. The bibliographies are likewise comprehensive. The editors have drawn on the expertise of leading scholars in the field, including the late James S. Holmes, Louis Kelly, Jonathan Wilcox, Jane Stevenson, David Hopkins, and many others. In addition, significant non-English texts, such as Martin Luther's "Circular Letter on Translation," which may be said to have inaugurated the Reformation, are included, helping to set the English tradition in a wider context. Related items, such as the introductions to their work by Tudor and Jacobean translators or the work of women translators from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries have been brought together in "collages," marking particularly important moments or developments in the history of translation. This comprehensive reader provides an invaluable and illuminating resource for scholars and students of translation and English literature, as well as poets, cultural historians, and professional translators.

Download or read book Loved as I Am written by Sr. Miriam James Heidland SOLT and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sr. Miriam James Heidland’s life as a successful college athlete proved unfulfilling, she went searching for something deeper and ended up falling in love with Jesus. By charting her own journey toward wholeness, Heidland invites young Catholics to pursue their own relationship with Jesus. Although originally full of athletic ambition and goals for a career in sports news, Heidland was transformed in a very slow but deep way during her undergraduate years, moving from party girl to bride of Christ. In Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus, Heidland helps readers learn from her experience of seeking love in the wrong places and instead finding it in Christ. She shares her struggles—learning she was adopted, battling alcoholism, and healing from childhood sexual abuse—as signs of hope that anyone who desires to know Christ can find him and be loved intimately by him in return. By bringing readers into Heidland’s healing process, Loved as I Am provides a gentle and subtle template for finding peace and freedom in Jesus.
