Abstract

The link between translation and travel literature is obvious. Francisco Lafarga
states in the introduction to Literatura de viajes y traducción that the travelogue
implies a meeting of cultures and languages; therefore the traveling writer
is involved in an intrinsic translation process. Likewise, in the
presentation of the Literature of Travel and Exploration encyclopedia. An encyclopedia,
Susan Bassnett writes:
“Travel writing is therefore a particular form of writing, closely akin to translation.
Like the translator, the travel writer shapes material in such a way that readers may
have access to whatever situations and places, known or unknown, are being
described ”(Speake, 2003, p. xi).
