N1  - Like criticism, translation is always a text about a text and hence it is a metatext. We translate by intuition. There is no Science of Translating though there are scientific theories of translation. In this book, the author has made a thorough analysis of various aspects of Translation Studiesboth in the East and the West. Apart from making a background study of Translation, he has analysed Translation as Creative Writing, as Linguistic Bridge-Building and as Nation Building. The author has devoted a chapter each to the important subjects: Theory and Practice of Translation: The Indian Context, Comparative Literature and Translation Studies: A Correlation, The Role of the Translator, A Critique of Translation Theories and above all, the place of Translation in the Twenty-first century in the Global Context.
