At the age of only 23, Kersti Juva was able to translate one of the most significant novels of the century. After the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Konkari translator has translated almost all of JRR Tolkien's other works.
In this book, Juva returns to the beginnings of his long career with his Tolkien translations. As Tolkien's interpreter, it also sheds light on how the speech patterns of the various characters were translated into Finnish and how the nomenclature of the Lord of the Rings got its Finnish counterparts.
How did Shire become Kontu and Brandybuck Rankkibuk? Why does orc speech resemble stad slang? What is the translator's love for the Finnish language like?
