From the current vantage point of the transformation of books and libraries, B. Venkat Mani presents a historical account of world literature. By locating translation, publication, and circulation along routes of “bibliomigrancy”―the physical and virtual movement of books―Mani narrates how world literature is coded and recoded as literary works find new homes on faraway bookshelves.
