Summary:

True North: Literary Translation in the Nordic Countries is the first book to focus solely on literary translation from, to, and between the Nordic tongues. The book is divided into three main sections. These are novels, children's literature, and other genres - encompassing drama, crime fiction, sagas, cookbooks, and music - although, naturally, there are connections and overlapping themes between the sections. Halldor Laxness, Virginia Woolf, Selma Lagerlof, Astrid Lindgren, Mark Twain, Henrik Ibsen, Henning Mankell, Janis Joplin, and Jamie Oliver are just some of the authors analysed. Topic
