The BOOK OF JOB [Paperback]

The theme ofThe Book of Jobis nothing less than human suffering and the transcendence of it: it pulses with moral energy, outrage, and spiritual insight.

Now,The Book of Jobhas been rendered into English by the eminent translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell, whose versions of Rilke, Israeli poetry, and theTao Te Chinghave been widely praised. This is the first time ever that the Hebrew verse of Job has been translated into verse in any language, ancient or modern, and the result is a triumph.
