What gets lost-and what is found-when words cross borders?
From ancient trade routes to the digital cloud, Translation: Meaning Lost and Found is JD Arden's witty and profound meditation on humanity's oldest, most fragile bridge: language. Arden explores the triumphs and tragedies of translation, from the untranslatable poetry of love to the political power hidden in a phrase.
How do jokes travel? Why do some words simply refuse to cross the border? What's really at stake when a novel, treaty, or text message jumps from one tongue to another? Through stories, science, and sharp-eyed philosophy, Arden reveals that every act of translation is a balancing act-between loyalty and creativity, clarity and mystery, connection and loss.
Whether you're a language lover, a cultural explorer, or someone who's ever struggled to be understood, this book will change the way you see words-and the world.
