Il lavoro di questo autore si concentra sugli studi di traduzione e sul suo profondo impatto sulla letteratura. La sua scrittura approfondisce come i contesti culturali plasmino le scelte di traduzione e, a loro volta, come queste scelte modellino le opere letterarie nella loro lingua di destinazione. Attraverso un'analisi meticolosa e la traduzione pratica, illumina l'intricata relazione tra i testi originali e le loro adattazioni, arricchendo così la nostra comprensione dello scambio letterario interculturale. Una dedizione all'esplorazione delle forme poetiche e delle letterature minoritarie sottolinea l'impegno a rendere le voci diverse accessibili a un pubblico più ampio.

Lawrence Venuti, winner of a Guggenheim fellowship and the Global Humanities Translation Prize, among many other awards, has translated into English these Italian Gothic tales of obsessive love, mysterious phobias, and the hellish curse of everlasting life. In this collection of nine eerie stories, Iginio Ugo Tarchetti switches effortlessly between the macabre and the breezily comical. Set in nineteenth-century Italy, his characters court spirits and blend in with the undead: passionate romances filled with jealousy and devotion are fueled by magic elixirs. Time becomes fluid as characters travel between centuries, chasing affairs that never quite prosper. First published by Mercury House in 1992.
