This current study focuses on the translation of titles, which were also changed or omitted in the first edition. Titles have strong influence on the understanding of the whole text, as they frame the facts, concealing or highlighting certain aspects of these facts. The translation of titles, in this respect, has great importance on attracting readers’ attentions and leading them to the way, where the author wants. The translated titles can affect the acceptance of the translation in the target society. Some former studies on this issue will be reviewed, and changed titles of the first edition willbe analyzed to discover the impact of title translation in the understanding of this book in Korean target culture.
