Since we've ended up talking about #interpretinghistory today, and the stories & biographies of #interpreters that made it, I thought it would be a good idea to compile here, in one thread, a list of books about interpreters, including their memoirs & autobiographies #1nt / TK
I thought it would be a good idea to start with "L’interprète de conférence, Cet Inconnu" by Stefan Priacel, who interpreted at the #Nuremberg Trials, and then went on to work at the UN and teach at ESIT. Available for download in FR from the link. https://aiic.net/page/7599/l-interprete-de-conference-cet-inconnu/lang/2
Next one, "A Fifty-Year Silence. Love, War, and a Ruined House in France" by Miranda Richmond Mouillot, about another one of the #Nuremberg Trials #interpreters, Armand Jacoubovitch, already mentioned here by @bdfrancq. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/236974/a-fifty-year-silence-by-miranda-richmond-mouillot/
And, to continue with the #Nuremberg theme, another one in RU by Tatiana Stupnikova, one of the Russian booth #interpreters at the Trials: "Nothing but the truth".

Not a book, but a real treasure trove of #interpreter biographies, compiled for the "One Trial - Four Languages" Exhibition, a project launched and carefully curated by Elke Limberger Katsumi, our colleague from Germany.
