Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.<\/p>\n
Oxford, 1836.<\/p>\n
The city of dreaming spires.<\/p>\n
It is the centre of all knowledge and progress in the world.<\/p>\n
And at its centre is Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation. The tower from which all the power of the Empire flows.<\/p>\n
Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift.<\/p>\n
Until it became a prison…<\/p>\n
But can a student stand against an empire?<\/p>\n
An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.<\/p>\n
‘A masterpiece that resonates with power and knowledge. BABEL is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting blend of fantasy and historical fiction – a monumental achievement’<\/p>\n
Samantha Shannon, author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE<\/p>\n
