Hope you enjoyed the ‘bookish’ posts last week – there’ll be more next month.
In the meantime, to start off a busy week…
Book review – Nicolas Le Floch
Today being Friday, I thought a little fiction might be in order to round off our week of books.
I am a great fan of the series of detective novels written by Jean-François Parot (a diplomat and historian) and set in 18th century Paris, the hero of which is Nicolas Le Floch, Marquis de Ranreuil, commissaire au Chatelet.
Book publication – Arabic-English-Arabic Legal Translation
This week’s third book is the recently published Arabic-English-Arabic Legal Translation, by Dr Hanem El-Farahaty, who is a Teaching Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK, an Associate of the Higher Education Academy, and a Lecturer at the University of Mansoura, Egypt.
Having been lucky enough to see Dr El-Farahaty presenting her work at a conference last year, I can give my own warm recommendation for this book.
Book publication – Legal Lexicography
The second book of the week is Legal Lexicography: A Comparative Perspective, published last month by Ashgate and edited by Máirtín Mac Aodha, Council of the European Union, Belgium.

Today I’d like to tell you about a volume published in 2013 – Legal Translation in Context: Professional Issues and Prospects, edited by Anabel Borja Albi and Fernando Prieto Ramos.

Monday smile – Sheepdogs
I hesitated at length whether to post a Monday smile this week, following the events that have reverberated all around the world. However, as some have said, humour can and should stand fast in all circumstances. So in that spirit…
