Pranger Translat

At this year's Translation Pranger, we are returning to the beginning of the 20th century with two great works of Italian literature: the novel Zen's Consciousness, the fictional autobiography of the Italian classic Italo Svevo, and Dino Campana's skillfully open-ended work Orphic Chants, which include both lyric and lyrical prose, and which will be on the throne of the Translating Pranger was also placed for the first time with lyrics. We invite you on a journey through the linguistic bravura of Italian literature and a journey through time that will take us back about a hundred years and just a little across the border to our Italian neighbors in literature and geography.
