Spanish translation success
23 May 2024
Maddi W in Year 12 has once again received a commendation in the 2024 Anthea Bell Young Translator’s Competition for her Spanish entry. Maddi worked on a text entitled “Aviso de Correos” and the extract was from the opening of La nostalgia de la Mujer Anfibio by the Galician writer Cristina Sánchez-Andrade. The novel is inspired by events surrounding the sinking of a steamship in 1921 off the Galician Island of Sálvora. Huge congratulations to Maddi for this commendation in a competition with over 16,000 participants.
