The untold story of how the Arabic Qur'an became the English Koran
For millions of Muslims, the Qur'an is sacred only in Arabic, the
original Arabic in which it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in
the seventh century. To many Arab and non-Arab believers alike, the
book literally defies translation, yet English translations are
growing in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the
remarkable story of the centuries-long quest to translate the
Qur'an's lyrical verses-and to make English itself an Islamic
language. A translation saga like no other, this panoramic book
looks at cyber Korans, versions by feminist translators, and even a
graphic Qur'an by the acclaimed visual artist Sandow Birk.
