ABSTRACT
Introduction
Multilingualism remains the source of movement and growth in a civilization. The ability to fill the house of reality, intellect and imagination with different furniture is a great pleasure and a great strength. The strengths of comparison and of contradiction. The ability to draw on the originality or strengths of one to enrich another. But for this to happen, writers and intellectuals must play their role, carrying words, images, emotions and ideas back and forth between languages.
(Saul, 1995: 35)
