"the book of Job;translated by Mitchell, Stephen"
Bible Old Testament
"the book of Job;translated by Mitchell, Stephen" - New York Harper Perennial 1987 - 129p.
The Book of Job pulses with moral energy, outrage, and spiritual insight; it is nothing less than human suffering and the transcendence of it.
Now, The Book of Job has been translated into English by the eminent translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell, whose versions of Rilke, Israeli poetry, and the Tao Te Ching have 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.
