Oh well, 10¢ isn't much of a waste in this case :P<br /><br />Interesting word choice and one I'll pay very close attention to, obviously, when I do read that translation.

Well I guess with 10¢ a copy it doesn't matter much. ;-)<br /><br />The story of Freud's mistranslation is true in at least one central aspect: In German there is a very clear distinction between <i>Instinkt</i> (meaning an animalic instinct or inborn behaviour pattern) and <i>Trieb</i> (the word Freud used for his Eros and Thanatos). The two terms roughly equal the Spanish distinction between <i>instinto</i> and <i>pulsión</i>. By rendering <i>Trieb</i> as instinct and subsequently as <i>instinto</i> (while <i>pulsión</i> would have been a much more adequate translation), the semantics of Freud's central theoretical term was indeed heavily altered for the Spanish-speaking audience.Murilegus rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705192064646504148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-89891004237233803872012-05-02T12:01:58.563-05:002012-05-02T12:01:58.563-05:00Thanks.

I wasn't tremendously impressed, but some authors do better with novels than short stories. I'm curious how her novels hold up. I've read some Japanese lit (Kawabata's <i>Snow Country</i>, some Mishima, and of course Haruki Murakami). I do enjoy it.Dave Cesaranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454928720043301400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-23073713771592895172012-05-01T17:16:47.528-05:002012-05-01T17:16:47.528-05:00Now that I've read your links, this is someone...Now that I've read your links, this is someone I'll have to add to a future e-book/book purchase.
