EN/FR/IT > ESP/CAT Anthropology and Litterature

Originally from Barcelona, at the age of sixteen I went to live to England, then I moved to Ireland, where I finished my baccalaureat. In Febraury 2012 I obtained a Bachelor's Degree on Translation and Interpretation by the Universitat Jaume I. English and French where the main languages of study. During this period, I did a year long Erasmus at the Université Stendhal (Grenoble, France), where I perfectioned my French skills. Before having finished my carreer I had already translated my first book: The Successful Coach. Inside Secrets to become a top coach. by Joe Vitale, Larina Kase, Terri Levine, published in Spain by Ediciones Obelisco.

After having my diploma, I moved to Italy and I attended the Antrhopology courses at the Università degli Studi di Verona as guest student. I begun to have a great interest in this matter, so I begun to study it on my own. I've read most of the great anthropologues (Evans-Pritchard, Marvin Harris, Levi-Strauss, Mauss, Clastres, Mumford, Malinowski,...). I got closer to the Phd. students on Philosophy, and I got to know some italian anthropologues, such as Marco Aime and Franco LaCecla.

Thanks to this I begun to scout the Spanish publishing houses with translation proposals, most of them essays on Philosophy and Anthropology. As a freelance translator, I look for books to translate, I study them, I do a research of the publishing houses that may be interested, and I make them my proposal. After a year of scouting, on september of 2014 will be published La macchia della razza, from Marco Aime, published in Spain by Editorial Cambalache. In winter 2014 will be published I dannati della metropoli. Etnografie migrante al interno della citá, from Andrea Staid, and La rivolta, from PierAndrea Amato. I'm waiting for a couple of other proposals to be confirmed: Histoire politique du barbelé, from Olivier Razac, and In posa. Abu Ghraib 10 anni dopo, from PierAndrea Amato.
