Translation procedures through the years: analysis of 1976 and 2005 translations of Walden by Henry David Thoreau

摘要

This paper is based on the analysis of two translations, separated by almost three decades, of Henry David Thoreau´s Walden. In order to reach this goal, we have compared both translations and analysed the different translation procedures used in them, considering reference experts in translation such as Peter Newmark, J.J.Zaro and M.Truman. The goal of this dissertation is to achieve a precise and complete analysis which may help to understand the similarities, differences, virtues, and difficulties of translation through ages.
