La protagonista de esta novela ha sido criada en un orfanato. Un intento de desahogo la lleva a escribir sobre la vida en el orfanato John Grier. Un misterioso benefactor le ofrece anónimamente a Jerusha pagarle la totalidad de los estudios universitarios con el objetivo de que se convierta en escritora. Su única exigencia: comprobar que el proceso se está cumpliendo a través de un constante flujo de cartas, que él no responderá jamás. A través de cada escrito, el lector irá viviendo, sin duda, las aventuras de Jerusha Abbot empatizando irremediablemente con la protagonista. A pesar de haber sido escrito hace más de un siglo, Papaíto piernas largas continua cautivando con la sencillez, optimismo y la frescura de la protagonista. “No son los grandes placeres lo más importante; son en gran parte los pequeños –he descubierto el verdadero secreto de la felicidad, papaíto, y es vivir en el presente. No estar siempre lamentando el pasado o anticipando el futuro; para obtener el máximo hay que vivir este mismo instante...”.

This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages — with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages — both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it —, takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.

First published in 1912, this classic epistolary novel is a delightful modern fairy tale about a plucky young orphan in search of her destiny. For Jerusha Abbott, life has been anything but easy. Left to be raised in the bleak John Grier Home orphanage by unknown parents, she has no idea what her future holds, but her spirit and cheerful outlook have always kept her going. This resolute hopefulness captures the attention of a mysterious benefactor, a man Jerusha comes to know as Daddy-Long-Legs, who sees in her the potential for greatness as a writer. In return for a college education and generous allowance, Daddy-Long-Legs asks only one thing: that Jerusha write him a letter every month telling of her experiences and thoughts. Thus begins the new life of Jerusha—now Judy—as she explores a world she never dreamed available to her. Through her letters, readers can follow the education and realization of a young woman seeking her place in both school and society, steadfastly refusing to let others decide her fate or fortune, in a charming and witty adventure of both heart and mind.
