Longest novels
This is a list of the longest novels over 500,000 words published through a mainstream publisher. The longest novel is Artamène ou le Grand Cyrus, originally published (1649–54) in 10 parts, each part in three volumes. Artamène is generally attributed to Madeleine de Scudéry.[1] Composing a list of longest novels yields different results depending on whether pages, words or characters are counted. Length of a book is typically associated with its size—specifically page count—leading many to assume the largest and thickest book equates to its length. Word counts are a direct way to measure the length of a novel by a measure that is unaffected by variations of format and page size.
Paula Mariani - Translator
Welcome. It’s often said that all translation is treason, or that all translation involves losing something of the original version’s content. The process – almost like alchemy – of transforming one discourse into that of another culture tends not to be held in the highest esteem. And yet translation is present, both openly and secretly, in all aspects of our lives, in thousands of different ways, in thousands of different guises. We think that translation is important when what’s at stake is guaranteeing comprehension between heads of state, journalists and interviewees, players and managers.
English spellings don’t match the sounds they are supposed to represent. It’s time to change
If you set out to create the most complicated spelling system in the world, then you could hardly do better than English. English spelling was messed about with in the 15th century when it became reinstated as our official language. Foreign printers with imperfect knowledge of English compounded the felony during the Bible wars of the 16th century, and the early lexicographers made little attempt to match spellings consistently with the sounds they were supposed to represent. Not much has changed since then – which seems unbelievable when you consider what a forward-thinking and innovative nation we are. The Guardian’s recent style change in adopting American spellings when referring to specific American placenames such as One World Trade Center excited much debate among the members of the English Spelling Society: some wondered if this was at long last a first step towards reforming English spelling – one of the most difficult orthographies in the world.
