1. Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language
Description
A marvelously thoughtful book . . . It is not just about emigrants and refugees. It is about us all. The New York TimesWhen her parents brought her from the war-ravaged, faded elegance of her native Cracow in 1959 to settle in well-manicured, suburban Vancouver, Eva Hoffman was thirteen years old. Entering into adolescence, she endured the painful pull of nostalgia and struggled to express herself in a strange unyielding new language.
Her spiritual and intellectual odyssey continued in college and led her ultimately to New Yorks literary world yet still she felt caught between two languages, two cultures. But her perspective also made her a keen observer of an America in the flux of change.
A classically American chronicle of upward mobility and assimilation. Lost in Translation is also an incisive meditation on coming to terms with ones own uniqueness, on learning how deeply culture affects the mind and body, and finally, on what it means to accomplish a translation of ones self.
Hoffman raises one provocative question after another about the relationship between language and culture . . . and about the emotional cost of re-creating oneself. Newsday

Description
The book provides an overview of EU competition law with a focus on the main developments in Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland and Croatia and offers an in-depth analysis of the role of language, translation and multilingualism in its implementation and interpretation.
The first part of the book focuses on the main developments in EU competition law in action, which includes legislation, case law and praxis.

Language is of paramount importance in the enforcement of EU competition law, and as such, the second part highlights legal linguistic skills, showcasing the advantages and the challenges of multilingualism, especially in the context of the predominant use of English as the EU drafting and vehicular language.
The volume brings together contributions prepared and presented as part of the EU-funded research project Training Action for Legal Practitioners: Linguistic Skills and Translation in EU Competition Law".
