Lost in Translation (1961)
Illustrated by Schoenherr (John Schoenherr, b. 1935)

A short story in which a man attempts to stop an alien armed with nothing but logic.

The original blurb:
“In language translation, you may get a literally accurate word-for-word translation ... but miss the meaning entirely. And in space-type translation ... the effect may be the same!”
