Book Description
La protagonista de esta novela ha sido criada en un orfanato. Un intento de desahogo la lleva a escribir sobre la vida en el orfanato John Grier. Un misterioso benefactor le ofrece anónimamente a Jerusha pagarle la totalidad de los estudios universitarios con el objetivo de que se convierta en escritora. Su única exigencia: comprobar que el proceso se está cumpliendo a través de un constante flujo de cartas, que él no responderá jamás. A través de cada escrito, el lector irá viviendo, sin duda, las aventuras de Jerusha Abbot empatizando irremediablemente con la protagonista. A pesar de haber sido escrito hace más de un siglo, Papaíto piernas largas continua cautivando con la sencillez, optimismo y la frescura de la protagonista. “No son los grandes placeres lo más importante; son en gran parte los pequeños –he descubierto el verdadero secreto de la felicidad, papaíto, y es vivir en el presente. No estar siempre lamentando el pasado o anticipando el futuro; para obtener el máximo hay que vivir este mismo instante...”.

Book Description
This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it , takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.

Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.It is a 1912 epistolary novel by the American writer Jean Webster. She follows the protagonist, Jerusha "Judy" Abbott, when she leaves an orphanage and is sent to college by a benefactor whom she has never seen. Jerusha Abbott was raised at the John Grier Home, a former orphanage. Children were completely dependent on charity and had to wear other people's discarded clothes. Jerusalem's unusual first name was selected by the tombstone matron (she hates it and uses "Judy" instead), while her last name was selected from the phone book. At 17, she finished her education and is on the loose, still working in the dormitories of the institution where she was raised.
