\nPost Script: \u00a0<\/strong>He has been asked\u00a0by several of his colleagues\u00a0to translate the book into his native language. However, he believes that he could never translate his original in another language, instead he would rather write a new text which is what he argues also in the book as he fronts some impossibilities of authentic translations. His is of the view that some of his nuances in his native language can never be translated into another, so also in the case \u00a0of a foreign language into his. The dilemma is inevitable in scholarship he says.
