Charles Le Blanc, Gatineau (Quebec), Le complexe d'Hermès : regards philosophiques sur la traduction.
(Les Presses de l'Université d'Ottawa; distributed by Prologue) (ISBN 978-2-7603-3038-2)

Hermes, messenger of the Gods, never spoke on his own behalf. Likewise the translator is a portal for text, transmitting the words from the creators, the authors, to their public. A brilliant and rich reflection of vast cultural erudition, this book is a philosophical meditation on the work of translation, expressed in impeccably-mastered language.
