Krátky popis
Would Hiroshima have been bombed if Japanese contained a phrase
meaning 'no comment'? Is it alright for missionaries to replace the
Bible's 'white as snow' with 'white as fungus' in places where snow
never falls? Who, or what, is Kuzma's mother, and why was Nikita
Khrushchev so threateningly obsessed with her (or it)? The course
of diplomacy rarely runs smooth, without an invisible army of
translators and interpreters, it's hard to see how it could run at
all. But though such go-betweens tend to be overlooked, even
despised, the subtlest of them have achieved a remarkable degree of
influence. Join veteran translator Anna Aslanyan to explore hidden
histories of cunning and ambition, heroism and incompetence.Meet
the figures behind the notable events of history, from the Great
Game to Brexit, and discover just how far a simple misunderstanding
can go.
