<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The newest volume in Alter's award-winning, landmark translation of and commentary on the Hebrew Bible focuses on Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Here in Robert Alter's bold new translation are some of the most magnificent works in world literature. The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of these books addresses the universal wisdom that the righteous thrive and the wicked suffer in a rational moral order; together they are essential to the ancient canon that is the Hebrew Bible.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A master translator of Hebrew poetry. --Jon Meacham"<br><br>Magnificent: This translation is superb [and] the commentary is rich in linguistic, historical, and literary insights that immeasurably enrich the reading of these texts. "<br><br>Masterfully translated. --John Timpane"<br><br>Masterfully translated. --John Timpane<br><br>A master translator of Hebrew poetry.--Jon Meacham<br><br>Masterfully translated.--John Timpane<br>
