Abstract

How we read, how we understand, has become one of the most pressing questions in literary studies today. We inhabit the hermeneutic age. Drawing on George Steiner's concept of "understanding as translation", this paper seeks to present interlingual translation as a paradigm for interpretation and understanding and deals specifically with two Italian translations of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
