ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Babel” by R.F. Kuang is a historical fantasy set in 19th-century England, where linguistic translation holds magical power. The story follows Robin Swift, a Chinese orphan taken to study at Babel, a prestigious institution that trains translators to use silver-working to manipulate reality. As Robin excels in his studies, he begins to uncover the darker implications of Babel's work, which is deeply tied to British colonialism. The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, power, and resistance, delving into the ethical complexities of using knowledge for control and the consequences of rebellion against an oppressive system.
