THE present for translators for just 19,95 €.

Inside Mox II, Alejandro Moreno-Ramos tackles the subjects of slavelance translators, the dangerous threat of Gurgle translate, less-than-honest colleagues, and much more.

This book includes 205 comic strips, more than half of which have never been published before, twelve articles written by distinguished translators and interpreters well known in the industry and some special bonus material.

Since 2009, the very popular Mox cartoons have provided some much needed laughter to myriads of translators and interpreters, capturing the microcosm of translation through the eyes of the characters, with true-to-life representations of how they view the world.
