In this lively penetrating study - the first fully authorised biography - Ben Rogers relates Ayer's ideas to his remarkable life strangely troubled beneath its glamorous surface. The 'quintessentially British' thinker was the only child of a Swiss-French father and Dutch-Jewish mother; after a lonely childhood he found his true role at Oxford. A friend of Isaiah Berlin and a follower first of Bertrand Russell and then of Wittgenstein. Ayer won fame at twenty-four with his brilliantly iconoclastic LANGUAGE TRUTH AND LOGIC - an essential text for students ever since. Ben Rogers shows Ayer at work in London Oxford and America and also at play as a passionate follower of cricket and football a great dancer a lover of witty conversation and beautiful women. Married four times Ayer was a leading figure in London 'cafe society' yet he was also a controversial public figure and broadcaster vehemently left-wing in the 1930s and later President of the British Humanist Association and the Homosexual Law Reform Society. Colourful inimate zestful and often poignant this is a powerful biography." Amazon hardcover

1978réf. 40624AB1978. New York Grove Press Inc. 1978. 24cm x 16cm. 186 pages. Original Hardcover with original illustrated dustjacket. In protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Presentation copy. With manuscript letter by Ben Belitt reflecting on mistakes in the book and comparing it to Borges' "Pierre Menard". Page six inscribed by Ben Belitt to Ben and Ann Malamud. Between an original text and its translation there is a gap - a "middle kingdom" of unkowns and equivalences - which the translator traverses alone. Ben Belitt a poet and scholar widely acclaimed for his translation of poetry from the Spanish of Alberti Machado Garcia Lorca Borges Jorge Guillen and Pablo Neruda has mapped out some of the terrain which divides and unifies the languages of the world and compels the translator's search for his function. In the sense that it is the attempt of a distinguished translator to 'come to cases' with the theory and practice of his craft in the on-going drift of choice and decisions this is a log-book as well as a casebook on translation. Its posture as Mr. Belitt frankly concedes is quizzical and empirical rather than polemical. It combines essays prefaces dialog and reviews with position papers 'reflecting the controversy into which all translators are drawn in their pursuit of an equivocal undertaking'. In two long sections on Pablo Neruda Belitt offers a sequence of 'revaluations' of the Chilean master in which the language and the substance of a 'Homeric sensibility' are measured against the literature of the world as a 'single community of tradition'. They help to fix the true subject of this volume as the relationship between translation and imagination or 'Adam's dream' of reality. Ben Belitt teaches at Bennington College and has received numerous awards for his poetry and translation including a Guggenheim Fellowships National Institute of Arts and Letters Award and the Princeton Press Award. He is the author of four volumes of poetry and other translations. hardcover
