Recent Translations

     Below, some of my most recent translations. I’ll comment here on the blog about each one of them individually with time, among the other posts about general subjects and the translation area.

     The books I translate are not mine, they belong to the authors, of course. But I translate them as if they were mine, with all my heart and soul. When you translate, you have to enter in the author’s mind, to know what he/she’s thinking, understand his/her feelings so that the book can be perfect. I feel this strong empathy with the author and make all the efforts for his/her book’s contents to be in Portuguese exactly the way they are in the original form in English. Translating is fascinating. Besides the knowledge about languages, I have to research a lot and I end up reading and learning many interesting things. That’s why I’m so proud when I see the result. The book is not mine, but I’ve treated it as if it was my own treasure all the way.
