Discussion

Sarah Jane Webb Mar 10, 2011:
too risky I agree with Holly and Luskie. There's no harm in asking the client for some context. This could mean a number of things. You can't just improvise here.
luskie Mar 9, 2011:
this really *can't* be translated without further info. ask the client!
Maria Burnett (asker) Mar 9, 2011:
I wish I knew. I only got the jacket
Holly Nathan (X) Mar 9, 2011:
You might be running a massive risk! Especially considering that this is a book jacket......
Maria Burnett (asker) Mar 9, 2011:
I don't know that is the problem. what about "her out-of-the world experience?
Holly Nathan (X) Mar 9, 2011:
I think it depends how he goes fuori mondo. What is the book about?

the day she first set foot into her other world...

I think by saying "HER other world", it makes it personal to her, which is the sense I get from the Italian. "outside of the world" or something literal on those lines, sets a different nuance in the English than I think the Italian is trying to imply.

"She remembers the day she first set foot into her other world very well..."

to lose touch with reality / perceive another world

Both solutions can work: the first one points out the detachment from actual reality, while the second one emphazises her entering a different dimension
