Babel, or Te Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of te Oxford Translators' Revolution (HC) (Kuang, R. F. )
Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by te mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for te day he'll enroll in Oxford University's prestigious Royal Institute of Translation — also known as Babel. Babel is te world's center of translation and, more importantly, of silver-working: te art of manifesting te meaning lost in translation through enchanted silver bars, to magical effect. Silver-working has made te British Empire unparalleled in power, and Babel's research in foreign languages serves te Empire's quest to colonize everything it encounters. Oxford, te city of dreaming spires, is a fairytale for Robin; a utopia dedicated to te pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge serves power, and for Robin, a Chinese boy raised in Britain, serving Babel inevitably means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress Robin finds himself caught between Babel and te shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to sabotaging te silver-working that supports imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide: Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence? What is he willing to sacrifice to bring Babel down? Babel — a thematic response to Te Secret History and a tonal response to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell — grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and te use of translation as a tool of empire.
