Translations are no longer expected to read as translations, with the original shining through. Modern translations aim to read like originals. While remaining true to the intentions of the original author, translators grasp hold of the meaning conveyed in the source language and render, or transcreate,<br \/>it freely in the target language.<\/p><p>My main endeavour in creating this translation was to achieve a fluidity and accessibility of language that would allow readers to grapple with Steiner\u2019s demanding contents without being impeded by unnecessarily complex sentence structures or terminology, bearing in mind also the many readers of other language backgrounds who work with this course in English.<br \/>Translating a book as fundamentally relevant as this has been both a challenge and an honour: I hope you enjoy the results!\u201c<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e7a72c1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e7a72c1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f31806\" data-id=\"5f31806\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a7a934 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a7a934\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Margot M.
