A masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility, Robert Alter's
translation of the Hebrew Bible, now complete, reanimates one of
the formative works of our culture. Capturing its brilliantly
compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews
the Old Testament as a source of literary power and spiritual
inspiration. From the family frictions of Genesis and King David's
flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job's incendiary
questioning of God's ways, these magnificent works of world
literature resonate with a startling immediacy. Featuring Alter's
generous commentary, which quietly alerts readers to the literary
and historical dimensions of the text, this is the definitive
edition of the Hebrew Bible.
