Thomas chanon

I love translating well structured, beautiful texts that radiate culture and intelligence with a sense of purpose, whether it be elevating the level of awakening of Humanity, digging deep into the understanding of great men of the past or offering the reader beautiful, humorous and elegant stories that resonate in their soul.

My favorite writers of English language: Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, Roald Dahl, Bret Easton Ellis....

My favorite French writers: Choderlos de Laclos, Stendhal, Marguerite Yourcenar, Amélie Nothomb, Christian Bobin...

My favorite translators: Stéphane Mallarmé who translated Edgar Allan Poe's poems into French prose, Leconte de Lisle who translated Homer also into French prose, Phillipe Brunet who translated the Iliad into French hexameters.

My main spiritual references: Epicure, Seneca, Kahlil Gibran, Hindu and Buddhist wisdom, the Seth books, Abraham-Hicks, Neale Donald Walsh.

I am also passionate about meditating, singing mantras, listening to my favorite rock and metal bands (Pink Floyd, Tool and Devin Townsend); dancing to trance, house and techno; enjoying frienship and love; studying Greek and Roman history; hiking, cycling and swimming in Nature...

I do volunteer work for Translators without Borders.

I have a masters in European Law and I did a 6-month internship in a law firm in Philadelphia. I have lived several years in the cosmopolitan electronic music community in Berlin where everyone speaks English.
