To celebrate International Translation Day, the Portuguese Translators’ Association (APT (http://www NULL.apt NULL.pt/)) awarded two literary translation prizes to two translators who employed their talent and sensitivity to produce new translations of two of the greatest works of literature: James Joyce’s Ulysses (translated by Jorge Vaz de Carvalho) and Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities (translated by Paulo Faria).

The prizewinners: Paulo Faria (left) and Jorge Vaz de Vasconcelos (right).

A special ceremony was held to award the prizes.

The publisher, Relógio D’Água, even printed the translators’ names on the covers of the books – a rare thing in Portugal.
