Resumen: This book deals with the history and the collective memory of a group of professionals work in the most universal organisation of the international political system. Combining the reflections of the historian and the interpreter, the research is based on original documents, the press and oral testimonies. It should be read as an essay, revolving round temporal and linear axis of the period of history it covers- from the creation of the United Nations in 1945 to the present days. This is the period of the consolidation of the profession of conference interpreter as we know it today, and the United Nations serves as a testing ground and a mirror of has happened throughout the almost sixty years" existence of the Organitation. The evolution of political and diplomatic relations has had an impact in the interpreters" profile. Now, interpreters do not come into the profession by chance, as they did in the past, but through training in specialised schools. What was seen as a phenomenon has become a profession.

Resumen: Interpreting, the human activity of translating oral discourse between two languages, has existed since times immemorial. As a professional activity per se, however, it is less than a century old. It dates back to the end of World War I, at the Paris conferences held in 1918, which resulted in the Treaty of Versailles and the establishment of the League of Nations. The first professional interpreters were all self-taught, but with the development of the profession and the advent of more international meetings, interpreter training began to be considered an important activity to prepare future interpreters better and faster. The first school dedicated exclusively to the training of interpreters was founded in Geneva, in 1941, by Antoine Velleman, an interpreter at the League of Nations (BOWEN e BOWEN, 1984). Many other appeared in the following decades.
