Translation of: Babel : or the necessity of violence : an arcane history of the Oxford Translators' Revolution.
Description
"1828. El Instituto Real de Traducción de Oxford, también conocido como Babel, es la institución mágica más importante del mundo. La magia con plata capaz de revelar significados ocultos perdidos en la traducción que allí se practica le ha otorgado al Imperio británico un poder sin parangón. Robin, un huérfano cantonés que ha terminado siendo alumno en Babel, se ha dado cuenta de que servir a Babel significa traicionar a su país de origen. Y, a medida que sus estudios progresan, se ve atrapado entre Babel y la misteriosa Sociedad de Hermes, una organización dedicada a impedir la expansión imperial. Cuando Gran Bretaña trate de iniciar una injusta guerra con China motivada por el opio y la plata, Robin deberá decidir si la única forma de lograr un cambio real es la violencia."--Page [4] of cover.
