Summary

In this quote, Cervantes suggests that translation is like the hidden side of a tapestry, often unnoticed and underappreciated. Translating a piece of literature involves unraveling its intricacies and layers, capturing the essence of the original work, and skillfully recreating it in a different language. Just as the back of a tapestry reveals the meticulous craftsmanship that lies hidden on the front, translation requires the same level of attention to detail and artistry. It highlights how translators play an essential role in bringing diverse cultures and languages together, making literature accessible to a wider audience.
