GUARDIAN
Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.
Oxford, 1836.
The city of dreaming spires.
It is the centre of all knowledge and progress in the world.
And at its centre is Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation. The tower from which all the power of the Empire flows.
Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift.
Until it became a prison…
But can a student stand against an empire?
An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.
'A masterpiece that resonates with power and knowledge. BABEL is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting blend of fantasy and historical fiction – a monumental achievement’
Samantha Shannon, author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE
Delve into the heart of an alternative UK, where Babel reigns as a top entry among gaslamp fantasy books. It's a great, bestselling read, peppered with the essence of urban exploration and thrilling action, an adventure that will leave you breathless and wanting more. For fans of Rebecca Yarros (Iron Flame), Leigh Bardungo (Six of Crows), Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings) and Olivie Blake (The Atlas Six) and Samantha Shannon (The Priory of the Orange Tree).

InesperadoVicianteInformativoInspiradorInteressanteInteligenteTristecom uma pegada “dark-academia” super imersiva, essa história tece críticas ao colonialismo e racismo que regem esse instituto de tradução dentro de oxford, que é onde se passa o livro. mostra a resistência do opressor em enxergar como humanos, como iguais, pessoas que para eles são apenas ferramentas do império e sobre o poder do pertencimento e da amizade, de ser compreendido dentro de seus grupos de suporte e também da socialização, que nos molda profundamente e é capaz de cegar até os melhores intencionados. um livro muito importante e que consegue mostrar as nuances das mazelas do racismo e o estranho sentimento de aprisionamento/gratidão que sistemas opressores são capazes de colocar seus subjugados. a rfk é incrível, super recomendo!
