From the recipient of the National Jewish Book Award for Lifetime
Achievement, a "hugely entertaining and irreverent" (Adam Gopnik,
New Yorker) account of the art of translating the Hebrew Bible into
English In this brief book, award-winning biblical translator
Robert Alter offers a personal and passionate account of what he
learned about the art of Bible translation during the two decades
he spent completing his own English version of the Hebrew Bible.
Showing why the Bible and its meaning can be brought to life in
English only by re-creating the subtle and powerful literary style
of the original text, Alter discusses the principal aspects of
biblical Hebrew that any translator should try to reproduce: word
choice, syntax, word play and sound play, rhythm, and dialogue. In
the process, he provides an illuminating and accessible
introduction to biblical style that also offers insights about the
art of translation far beyond the Bible.
