This book display has been guest curated by Dr Richard Mansell, Senior Lecturer in Translation at the University of Exeter, and Corresponding Member of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona.

Translation has the power to transport us to new lands, and introduce us to new ideas, yet frequently translation and translators are hidden, or invisible. To celebrate the relationship between Barcelona and Exeter UNESCO Cities of Literature, this display will explore and reveal the work of literary translators through the holdings of the Institution, celebrating their contribution to culture and their role in literary exchange.

Free and open to all. Drop into the Outer Library during our opening hours. 

Meet the curator! Richard Mansell will be on hand to discuss the display with visitors on Wednesday 15th October, between 1 and 3pm.
