I need a skilled literary translator to carry a set of classical philosophical texts from English into elegant, idiomatic French. The work goes well beyond literal conversion: tone, rhythm and the subtle argumentative flow of the originals must survive intact, so familiarity with the canon—Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics and their commentators—is a real advantage. Source material: polished English manuscripts (essays, short treatises and a few project-proposal notes that discuss how the ideas could be applied today). Target: publication-ready French that reads as if it were first drafted in the target language, with any culturally bound references smoothly adapted or briefly glossed. I will supply: • clean, well-formatted Word documents • existing footnotes and citations You will deliver: • fully translated French files in the same layout • a short translator’s memo flagging any passages where meaning was uncertain or multiple renderings remain possible A small sample (≈300 words) will be sent first; your treatment of that excerpt will help us fine-tune voice, terminology and schedule before moving on to the full batch. If you have previous work in literary or philosophical French, please mention it so I can gauge stylistic fit. Looking forward to collaborating on these timeless texts—precision and artistry equally valued.
