The Korean War has been termed "The Forgotten War" or the "Unknown War." It is a conflict which never assumed the mythic character of the American Civil War or World War II. However, this book asserts, it would be impossible to understand the Cold War and indeed post 1945 global history without knowledge of the Korean War. Providing a history of the Korean peninsula before the war and including a detailed analysis of the fighting itself, The Korean War goes beyond the battlefield to deal with the war in the air, ground attack, and air evacuation. The study also evaluates the contributions of the UN naval forces, the impact of the war on various homefronts and issues such as defectors, opposition to the war, racial segregation and integration, POWs and the media. Recently-released Soviet documents are used to assess the role of China, the Soviet Union, North and South Korea and the allied forces in the conflict. This fascinating work offers a unique analysis of the Korean War and will be invaluable to students of twentieth-century history, particularly those concerned with American and Pacific history.

Jirí Levý's seminal work, The Art of Translation, considered a timeless classic in Translation Studies, is now available in English. Having drawn on adjacent disciplines, the methodology of Czech functional sociosemiotic structuralism and the state-of-the art in the West, Levý synthesized his findings and experience in the field presenting them in a reader-friendly book, which combines the approaches of a theoretician, systemic analyst, historian, critic, teacher, practitioner and populariser. Although focused on literary translation from theoretical, descriptive and historical perspectives, it presents a conceptualization of a general theory, addressing a number of issues discussed today. The 'practical' mission of the book as a theory extending to practice is based on the same historical-dialectic affinity of methods, norms, functions and values, accounting for the translator's agency and other contextual agents involved in the communication process. The book will be useful to translators, researchers, students and teachers in Translation and Literary Studies.

In der Monographie werden Ubersetzungen von L. Carrolls Alice in sechs Sprachen untersucht. Der Autor vertritt die These, dass trotz eines jeweiligen sprachlichen Weltbildes in keiner der behandelten Sprachen so etwas wie eine nationale Abstraktion einer Alice moglich ist. In Einklang mit Walter Benjamins Idee von einem Fortleben des Originals in der Ubersetzung wird in der Studie auf die Erweiterung der Handlung durch Ubersetzungssprachen eingegangen. Jedes Kapitel befasst sich einleitend mit einem bestimmten sprachtheoretischen Problem, unter anderem mit der Realitat der Zeit, der Interaktion des Eigentlichen und des Metaphorischen, dem Nonsens, den sprachlich-philosophischen Dimensionen der Kindheit und der Sprache der Gewalt.
