? The Texts

Prose in translation

MA Course

The Texts

All the texts are initial chapters/sections of more or less classical novels. You will be required to produce, as a final assignment, a translation of the first 10 pages (i.e. the first 18000 characters including spaces); the exact length will be individually determined by the instructor to coincide, if possible, with ends of sections or chapters.

These excerpts can be downloaded in Word format using the links below.
