The Wisdom Books: Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes: A Translation with CommentaryHere 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
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.Binding Type: Paperback

Enough space and nice look
Color: Dark Coffee
So far is good. I bought it to go to work . It's not leather and it may not last many years, but for me it's fine. I can locked it in my file cabinet because it flexible and soft.

The red color is not a true red.
Color: Red
The red bag that I received is more of a dull, red clay, depressing color. Otherwise this pocket book is great.

Beautiful and sleek black hobo bag!
Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size
This purse is absolutely lovely for the price! Such a cute hobo bag, yet is modern and sleek to make any outfit look polished. It is super soft and has a faux leather texture with a beautiful sheen to it. It seems like great quality and if it ever gets saggy or old, it's cheap enough to replace easily. I love the gold hardware and it also has a lovely gold metal label of the brand on the outside making it look expensive. Also the strap is thick enough that it is quite comfortable on the shoulder. The only gripe I have is that it looked a bit bigger online, it fits about as much as a tote bag would; also the pockets inside are a bit small, but overall, I LOVE it!
