Beatriz Muñoz Estrada-Maurin

Literary translator French · Spanish · English

Since the end of 2009 I have translated books on spirituality, theology and humanities for Spanish and French publishers, from James Martin to Thérèse of Lisieux, from Teilhard de Chardin to Gaël Giraud, with one concern: that the text keeps its precision, its voice and its breath in its new language.

Areas of expertise

A specialist translator knows the texts before translating them. My fields are the ones I read, study and practise.

  • Spirituality and religion

    Ignatian and Carmelite traditions, contemporary spiritual writers, prayer and inner life.

  • Theology and Christianity

    Bible, exegesis, Church history. Currently studying theology at the Catholic University of Lyon.

  • Philosophy and essays

    Political and social thought, the common good, science and faith around Teilhard de Chardin.

  • Humanities

    Economics, psychology, anthropology: demanding essays where conceptual precision matters as much as style.

  • Poetry

    Close attention to rhythm, music and imagery, informed by my own writing.

  • Education and disability

    Training in the cognitive development of children with intellectual disabilities.

Writing, too

Translation is an art of listening; writing is its continuation. I also publish my own books, in French and Spanish.
