Title: Hemingway in Arabic: A Study of Literary Transformation
Author/Creator: Adnan K. Abdulla
Publication Details: Identity and Difference: Translation Shaping Culture, pp.151-165
Annotation: Discusses the difficulties of successfully translating Hemingway s terse style into Arabic, a language with a completely different culture and poetics. Focuses on biases found in various Arabic translations of The Old Man and the Sea that turn Hemingway into a wordy, religious writer.
