Re: Books on translation wanted

Try "On Translation" edited by Reuben A. Brower, Harvard U. Press, 1959.
It has essays by 17 translators, including Achilles Fang (I just had to
mention that name).  It is probably a good collection because Vladimir
Nabokov's essay about his translation of Alexandr Pushkin's (sic)
"Eugene Onegin" is included.  Its title is "The Servile Path."

I think the book is out of print.  It should be in good libraries or 
available through second-hand bookstores.
