Source text - Italian La Roggia
Questa proprietà si trova all’interno del brolo di Villa Giona - storico palazzo rinascimentale - sulla pendice sud-est del Monte Sausto, nel comune di San Pietro in Cariano. Si estende per una superficie di 9.75 ettari ed ha un’altitudine di 140 m/s.l.m. Il terreno è prevalentemente limoso e presenta a una profondità di 50-60 cm. uno strato ghiaioso che favorisce il drenaggio dell’acqua.
Translation - English La Roggia
This vineyard is located within the wooded area of Villa Giona (historic renaissance palace) on the south-eastern slope of the Monte Sausto, in the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano. It covers 9.75 hectares and is 140 metres above sea level. The soil is predominantly silty with a layer of gravel at a depth of 50-60cm which helps with water drainage.
Spanish to English: Selection from a translation of La Oscura Historia de la Prima Montse General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Spanish Una grieta en la torre
Sentía la envoltura de la noche cubriendo el chalet. Y en alguna parte, en algún momento de aquel tiempo sin orillas, volvía a oír la tímida voz de la criadita Esperanza invitándome a pasar desde la puerta de la torre, en un atardecer caluroso, y se lo estaba contando a mi prima, le decía con qué claridad me veía de nuevo en medio del salón de los Claramunt, recién llegado del sur, solo, esperanzado y efervescente, con las antenas desplegadas para captar los menores ruidos de la casa: de nuevo hundo las manos en aquellos sobados bolsillos que el sudor y la pobreza redujo a telarañas en mi viejo «príncipe de Gales» cruzado y contemplo el gran retrato del patriarca fundador y sus fábricas colgando sobre el hogar. (El abuelo y sus veinte chimeneas de fondo, siete más de las que nunca llegó a tener, precisó Nuria. Porque era un vanidoso.) Pero vamos a lo que importa: ¿Qué sabía yo de la desgracia que ya se abatía sobre Montse y aquel hogar cuando llegué? Nada.
Translation - English A Crack in the Tower
I felt the night close in, enveloping the house. And in some place, at some moment during that endless period of time, I heard the timid little voice of Esperanza, the maid, inviting me in from the door of the tower. It was a warm sunset, and I was telling my cousin just how clearly I could see myself again in the middle of the Claramunts’ living room, just arrived from the south, alone, full of hope and in high spirits, with my ears pricked up to catch the slightest sound in the house. I buried my hands deep into those worn pockets of my old ‘Prince of Wales’ double-breasted suit which sweat and poverty had left threadbare. I contemplated the big portrait of the patriarchal founder and his factories presiding over the family home (the grandfather with his twenty chimneys in the background, seven more than he ever really had, Nuria pointed out, because he was conceited). But let’s get to the important point: what did I know about the misfortune which was already afflicting Montse and that home when I arrived? Nothing.

During my career I have worked on a variety of types of texts, specializing in tourism, wine and food and literature in particular. I have translated letters, magazine articles, brochures, menus and websites. I believe I am creative, adaptable, professional and reliable.
I hope to have the opportunity to work together soon.
