Octavo (approx. 6 1/2' wide by 9 1/2" tall). Black cloth spine over orange boards, 186 pages. A tad sunned at edges, else book and dust jacket are in near fine condition. "Between an original text and a translation, there is a gap--a middle kingdom--of unknowns and equivalences--which the translator traverses alone. Ben Belitt, a poet and a scholar widely acclaimed for his translation of poetry from Spanish of Alberti, Machado, Garcia Lorca, Borges, Jorge Guillen, and Pablo Neruda, has mapped out some of the terrain which divides and unifies the languages of the world and compels the translator's search for his function." -- from the dust jacket.
