Alberto Manguel's *The Art of Translation* (originally *The Backside of Tapestry: Notes on the Art of Translation*) explores the philosophical and practical aspects of translation, portraying it as a cultural and intellectual transposition akin to the medieval relocation of sacred relics, rather than a mere linguistic act. Manguel considers questions such as the existence of a "pure text," the singularity of authorship, and how translation reshapes meaning. His reflections offer a literary meditation on conveying the essence of words across linguistic borders.
