To harness the power of translation, Oxford University hosts the Royal Institute of Translation, nicknamed "Babel". Silver bars inscribed with such 'match-pairs' of words can thus manifest magical effects, which may increase agricultural production, improve the accuracy of bullets, heal injuries, and more. In this world, silver has magical properties tied to language: it is capable of capturing what is "lost in translation" between words in different languages that have similar, but not identical, meanings. Kuang drew heavily from history and her own experiences as both a translator and an Oxford graduate.īabel is set in an alternate-reality 1830s England in which Britain's global economic and colonial supremacy are fueled by the use of magical silver bars.

Specifically, Achilles and Patroclus’ emphasis on monogamy and more-or-less exclusive homosexuality. But it’s not quite perfect to my mind, and I wanted to talk about what I see as the novel’s greatest flaw: the imposition of modern western relationship values onto ancient Greek characters. ![]() Madeline Miller’s The Song of Achilles is a fun, accessible, and largely accurate retelling of the Achilles’ mythos and I enthusiastically recommend it.
