The holes in our literary work that keep us thinking. One of them is the problem of translation-vanan. Even if it's literally translated as part of our literature, even if it is not a part of the literature, is it possible that one part of it is actually not true? Or why is it so hard to come and evaluate and poison the meaning and image of "translate-burn" of those days? This is why he's so precious and great, after his persistent and terrible efforts.
Park Jin-young: Translator's Preface
The book has put 378 of the translations of the translators' words: world literature, poetry, drama, child literature, adventure novels, East Asian literature, translated into Korean from 1895 to 1960. The translator's voice is in itself a theory and practice. No theory of translation presupposes the speaker's voice. No interpretation and evaluation can exceed the history of voices. This is a head for the hair, and it's a translation for the translators.
