Speculative Fiction In Translation From Around The World

Science Fiction in Translation from Around the World gives readers a comprehensive look at the speculative fiction that has been translated into English from over forty languages over the past half century. Each chapter offers an analysis of SFT from the eight major regions of the world in order to explore why certain subgenres (e.g., science fiction or horror) predominate, and how this knowledge can help us cultivate a better understanding of what is chosen for translation and how it impacts a domestic market. This is the only study to capture the global diversity of the genre, offering readers an accessible entry into the world of SFT and inspiring scholars to further research in the field.
