Description

“No problem is as intertwined with letters and their humble mystery as that posed by a translation,” wrote Jorge Luis Borges, and the author, essayist, and translator Achilleas Kyriakidis, in light of the ironically laden work of the great Argentine, traces the pains of the translator.

When is a translation faithful? What does the translation of spirit or letter mean? Are all texts translatable and capable of being translated? To which literary canon do translated works belong?

In gratitude for being named an honorary doctor by the Ionian University, Kyriakidis, in his thank-you speech, discusses, while both playing and studying, the enigma of appropriating another language and the personal anxieties of the translator.
