Abstrak
The reference book titled Poe's Gothic Tales: Epistemic Modality in English-Indonesian Translation invites readers to explore Edgar Allan Poe's gothic stories, which are rich in dark atmospheres, mystery, and psychological tension, while also examining how their meanings shift when translated into Indonesian. Each story is not only presented as a literary work, but also as a space where two languages meet, each with different ways of expressing certainty, uncertainty, and degrees of commitment in narration. Through a focused discussion, the book highlights how word choices in translation can alter the impression and depth of a story, particularly in relation to expressions of certainty and doubt in discourse. This allows readers to enjoy Poe's tales while also understanding how meaning moves across languages without losing their distinctive gothic atmosphere. This book is intended for the general public who are interested in gothic fiction, translation studies, and the uniqueness of language, making it an enriching read that enhances both knowledge and literary experience.
