Reviews
This book is an invaluable contribution to the research effort to bridge the gap between translation studies, adaptation studies and transmedia studies, and fit them to the digital age. Coauthored by experts in these fields, it covers a wide range of texts and media, and introduces them in a clear and compelling way, while giving a strong sense of how the world around us is changing. Rachel Weissbrod, Bar-Ilan University, Israel This book intriguingly illustrates the interplay and continuities between contemporary written, visual, auditory, and performative media narratives; it also offers fascinating and archetypal case studies, ranging from Don Quixote to the latest video games, making both for an extremely informative and a genuinely pleasurable reading experience. Federico Zanettin, University of Perugia, Italy

Federico Zanettin, University of Perugia, Italy John Milton and Silvia Cobelo’s new book, Translation, Adaptation and Digital Media, resonates with this ever-evolving landscape [...] a groundbreaking endeavour aimed at elucidating the intricate and dynamic interplay between translation and adaptation in the digital era. This book represents a notable breakthrough in demonstrating the significance of digital media to both translation and adaptation studies. As such, it provides timely discussions and valuable insights for scholars, practitioners and individuals interested in the domains of translation, adaptation, transmedia and digital media.
