This is a glittering new translation of the portion of the Hebrew
Bible known as the Book of the Twelve Prophets, or the Twelve
"Minor" Prophets. In the Bible, the books of the prophets are
arranged in rough order of length. The present group of writings
thus appears after the so-called "major" prophets (Isaiah,
Jeremiah, and Ezekiel), and includes the much shorter texts of
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk,
Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. At the time when all
biblical books were written on scrolls, these twelve brief
prophetic texts were traditionally written on a single scroll, and
so came to be considered a single book. "Minor" with respect to
length only, they are from the literary point of view some of the
most interesting texts in the Bible -- passionate, visionary, and
written with genuine literary sophistication. David Slavitt's
brilliant modern translation breathes fresh life into these
powerful ancient texts.
