After a full introduction, which enlists the main online resources that are needed to translate the proposed texts and details the pedagogic methodology adopted, the book is organized into 15 self-standing teaching units. Each unit presents first an abridged Italian source text, with each of its sentences numbered. The time recommended for the completion of the translation task is also indicated. Then, for each source text sentence the author provides a suggested translation that meets the criteria of accuracy and fluency. This is followed by an insightful discussion of the main problems actually encountered by students when rendering that particular sentence. For each of these authentic problems, the author provides an assessment of possible solutions based on an attentive and well documented use of a variety of resources. Stewart's methodology fully recognizes the collective and individual contribution made by the students to the translation assignment. In unearthing the main sources of translation difficulty and the process underlying the search for appropriate renderings, the author enables the teacher and learner to become aware of common pitfalls and how to overcome them.

Translating Travel examines the relationship between travel writing and translation, asking what happens when books travel beyond the narrow confines of one genre, one literary system and one culture. The volume takes as its starting point the marginal position of contemporary Italian travel writing in the Italian literary system, and proposes a comparative reading of originals and translations designed to highlight the varying reception of texts in different cultures. Two main themes in the book are the affinity between the representations produced by travel and the practices of translation, and the complex links between travel writing and genres such as ethnography, journalism, autobiography and fiction. Individual chapters are devoted to Italian travellers' accounts of Tibet and their English translations; the hybridization of journalism and travel writing in the works of Oriana Fallaci; Italo Calvino's sublimation of travel writing in the stylized fiction of Le città invisibili; and the complex network of literary references which marked the reception of Claudio Magris's Danubio in different cultures.

The study of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) has grown considerably in the last decades, and a wide number of issues related to this field have been addressed through a variety of lenses. These range from the changes occurring in spoken English, to the much-debated notion of the native-speaker; from the threat that English represents for minority languages, to the metadiscourse(s) contributing to the myth of English as a language equally accessible to speakers of all nationalities. Adopting different perspectives and positions, the articles in this special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer all demonstrate that ELF poses many challenges to the teaching of translation and that, while there are no simple and ready-made solutions, such challenges need to be taken on board to fill the current gap between translation pedagogy and translation practice. The volume is intended as a starting point to encourage educators to rethink their approach to translation pedagogy by envisaging tools and practices that can contribute to preparing students to become professional translators of ELF and reflective practitioners who are aware of the centrality of translation in the digital age.
