Growing in “Disquiet” – Research and Translation of the New Edition of The Book of Disquiet
2022-10-26 @ 7:00 pm ~ 9:00 pm
Abstract:
The Book of Disquiet written by Fernando Pessoa – Father of Portuguese Modernism, has caused a lot of “unease” to several generations of scholars and translators, which owes much to the uncertainty, plurality, and inherent subversive in the multifaceted corpus. Over four decades, this work has had numerous editions, publications, and translations around the world. The two translators of the new edition of The Book of Disquiet ( Yazhong/Elegance edition, 2022) intend to share the experience of research and translation of this work, underlining, with concrete examples, the patronymic proliferation, the stylistic metamorphosis and the inner artistic quality that mark this modern classic.
