"Muy buena la intro mostrando la situación actual de las lenguas.
Y muy interesabte el capítulo dedicado al Italiano y en general a las lenguas que se pierden a la hora de emigrar y las políticas de los países que NO ayudan a que los hijos y nietos de migrantes mantengan las lenguas de sus raíces." — 22 hours, 35 min ago

“Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So then where does that leave us? How can we conclude, except by acknowledging that an act of translation is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?”
― R.F. Kuang, Babel
