Product Description
From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a historical fantasy epic that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British Empire
Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.
1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day heâll enroll in Oxford Universityâs prestigious Royal Institute of Translationâalso known as Babel. The tower and its students are the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver-workingâthe art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver barsâhas made the British unparalleled in power, as the arcane craft serves the Empire's quest for colonization.
