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.
