Reviews
Alter takes us back to the essence of the meaning...Everything is clearer, seeming to have been rinsed not in the baptismal waters of the New Testament but in the life-giving water of the desert., The poets will rejoice. Alter's language ascends to a rare purity through a plainness that equals the plainness of the Hebrew., Thrilling and constantly illuminating. After the still, small voices of so many tepid modern translations, here is a whirlwind., You think you know these texts, or you do until you read Alter, who reignites their beauty in bracing and unexpected ways., Alter the commentator deserves as much attention as Alter the translator... The strengths of his commentary are its wealth of short, pithy formulations, rich descriptions of translation issues, and historical and literary discussions... Alter is an eloquent popularizer., Alter has achieved the significant feat of refreshing English by taking it back to one of its sources of strength., Alter's translation can be fairly described as a godsend...Immediately readable, immensely learned, an education and a restitution.

Synopsis
To read the books of the Former Prophets in this riveting Robert Alter translation is to discover an entertaining amalgam of hair-raising action and high literary achievement. Samson, the vigilante superhero of Judges, slaughters thousands of Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. David, the Machiavellian prince of Samuel and Kings, is one of the great literary figures of antiquity. A ruthless monarch, David embodies a life in full dimension as it moves from brilliant youth through vigorous prime to failing old age. Samson and David play emblematic roles in the rise and fall of ancient Israel, a nation beset by internal divisions and external threats. A scattering of contentious desert tribes joined by faith in a special covenant with God, Israel emerges through the bloody massacres of Canaanite populations recounted in Joshua and the anarchic violence of Judges. The resourceful David consolidates national power, but it is power rooted in conspiracy, and David dies bitterly isolated in his court, surrounded by enemies. His successor, Solomon, maintains national unity through his legendary wisdom, wealth, and grand public vision, but after his death Israel succumbs to internal discord and foreign conquest. Near its end, the saga of ancient Israel returns to the supernatural. In Elijah's fiery ascent to heaven many would find the harbinger of a messiah coming to save his people in their time of need., Robert Alter's award-winning translation of the Hebrew Bible continues with the stirring narrative of Israel's ancient history.
