Troy in Translation Book Club

Join TPL librarians for the inaugural Troy in Translation Book Club, where we'll discuss a book that has been widely translated. This is the perfect chance for English language learners to read a book in their native language and then practice their English conversation skills, but native English speakers will also appreciate the conversation about translation practices. For this session, we'll be discussing The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. Originally published in Portuguese, The Alchemist has become a bestseller across various languages.
