The Translation Studies is an introductory manual that succinctly presents the main translational approaches. Munday explores the relevant theories and tests their validity by applying them to a wide range of texts drawn from various languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Punjabi, Portuguese.
Among these texts are a tourist brochure, a children's cooking guide, the translations of a Harry Potter novel, the Bible, literary critiques and prefaces by translators, movie subtitles, a technical text, and a speech at the European Parliament.
The book, which also includes a general introduction, extensive bibliography, and a list of online resources, offers the reader a balanced and comprehensible picture of translation studies.
