English Summary/英文概要： The secret history of novelists is often a history of exile and tourism - a history of language learning. Like the story of Gustave Flaubert and Juliet Herbert, it is a history of loss and mistakes. Flaubert’s niece was taught by an English governess: Juliet Herbert. As Flaubert finished "Madame Bovary", Miss Herbert translated his novel into English. But this translation has since been lost. No photographs of Miss Herbert survive, either. Translation, and emigration, is the way into a new history of the novel - a history of loss, of mistakes. We assume that we can read novels in translation. We also assume that style does not translate. But the history of the novel is the history of style. "Miss Herbert" solves this conundrum.The book travels from Rio de Janeiro to Prague, from Moscow to London, from Trieste to Paris, from Warsaw to New York. On its zigzagging flight, it reinvents our ideas of style, and translation - introducing new theories of jet lag, of the time difference. "Miss Herbert" finds problems with accurate translations, and praises imperfect ones. It dismisses history and politics, replacing them with the fun of literary games. This is not a novel, but an inside-out

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小说家的秘密历史经常充满着流放和旅游 - 语言学习的历史。像古斯塔夫•福楼拜（法国现实主义作家）和朱丽叶赫伯特的故事，便是一段迷失和差错的历史。 当福楼拜完成《巴法利夫人》著作时，他侄女的家庭女教师，将这部小说译成了英语。 但这篇译稿从那以后便遗失了。
赫伯特小姐为读者和作者提供一张可一共同分享的虚构国度地图。作为翻译和移民，是可供了解一段新的历史小说的参考媒介。 我们假设读我们能翻阅译本小说。我们也可以假设这是一本没有译本的读物。但小说的历史依然是的历史风格模样。 赫伯特小姐探索这道难题的答案。(Sandy)
