Engross yourself in the magical world of R.F. Kuang's novel, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution. Follow the story of Robin Swift, an orphan from Canton taken to London to train for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he enrolls in Oxford University's prestigious Royal Institute of Translation--also known as Babel. Here, you will be swept away into a world where silver working--the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars--has allowed the British unparalleled power, used to further their colonization. As Robin navigates the utopia of Oxford, he must decide if powerful institutions can be changed from within or if revolution always requires violence. Dive into a tale that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turning it over and shaking it out. With Babel, you won't be bored--you'll be transported to a far-off land.
