Publikace otevírá formou dílčích sond otázky klíčové pro téma literárního transferu. Reflektuje problematiku překladu a roli překladatele, věnuje se českým překladům anglické a americké literatury v posledních třech dekádách i recepci české literatury v Bulharsku a bulharské literatury u nás po roce 1989. Jednotlivé kapitoly monografie se zabývají rovněž projektem Tschechische Bibliothek ve vztahu k otázce kánonu, transferem orálnosti ve frankofonních literaturách, podílem literárních a kulturních periodik na recepci cizích literatur či rolí paratextu při čtení literárního díla. Tematizována jsou rovněž filmová zpracování povídky Milana Kundery „Falešný autostop“, neboť právě adaptace mohou podstatným způsobem ovlivňovat to, co je v centru zájmu autorů a autorek této monografie – život literárního díla v zahraničním kontextu.

"Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer is close to 'aging out' out of the foster care system. A community service position helping an elderly woman clean out her home is the only thing keeping Molly out of juvie and worse.... As she helps Vivian sort through her possessions and memories, Molly learns that she and Vivian aren't as different as they seem to be. A young Irish immigrant orphaned in New York City, Vivian was put on a train to the Midwest with hundreds of other children whose destinies would be determined by luck and chance. Molly discovers that she has the power to help Vivian find answers to mysteries that have haunted her for her entire life--answers that will ultimately free them both. Rich in detail and epic in scope, Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is a powerful novel of upheaval and resilience, of unexpected friendship, and of the secrets we carry that keep us from finding out who we are."--from publisher's description
