Aprašymas

The world’s greatest poetry resides in the Bible, yet these major poets are
traditionally rendered into prose. In this pioneering volume, Willis Barnstone’s
translations restore the lyricism and power of the poets’ voices in both
the New and the Old Testaments. In the Hebrew Bible we hear Solomon rhapsodize
in Song of Songs, David chant in Psalms, God and Job debate in grand
rhetoric, and prophet-poet Isaiah plead for peace. Jesus speaks in wisdom
verse in the Gospel, Paul is a philosopher of love, and John of Patmos roars
majestically in Revelation, the Bible’s epic poem. This groundbreaking volume
includes every major biblical poem from Genesis and Adam and Eve in the
Garden to the last pages of Alpha and Omega in Paradise.
