Routledge Translation Guides cover the key translation text types and genres and equip translators and students of translation with the skills needed to translate them. Concise, accessible and written by leading authorities, they include examples from existing translations, activities, further reading suggestions and a glossary of key terms. Literary Translation introduces students to the components of the discipline and models the practice. Three concise chapters help to familiarize students with: what motivates the act of translation how to read and critique literary translations how to read for translation. A range of sustained case studies, both from existing sources and the author’s own research, are provided along with a selection of relevant tasks and activities and a detailed glossary. The book is also complemented by a feature entitled ‘How to get started in literary translation’ on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal (http://cw.routledge.com/textbooks/translationstudies/). Literary Translation is an essential guidebook for all students of literary translation within advanced undergraduate and postgraduate/graduate programmes in translation studies, comparative literature and modern languages.

Andreas Steinhöfel

Steve Wells

Rico is an unusual boy. Sometimes he's laughed at because he mixes things up in his head and he doesn't know his left from his right. But Rico is brilliant at noticing the little things that nobody else does. Like a piece of pasta lying on the pavement. Or the strange goings-on in the apartment block where he lives. But it isn't until his new friend, the gifted but anxious Oscar, is kidnapped that Rico gets the chance to put all his special skills-and tenacity-to the test. An outstanding and distinctive new voice, Andreas Steinhofel is one of Germany's most highly regarded authors. Exciting, touching and funny mystery, exploring the friendship between two unusual boys who notice the things that others miss: the mildly autistic Rico and the brainy but anxiety-ridden Oscar. The first of three curious crime-solving adventures, quirkily recorded by Rico in his journal.

The Pasta Detectives
