	The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary
	by Robert Alter Sales Rank: 19932	List Price: ~~$35.00~~ $23.10 At Amazon on 10-28-2008

Hardcover: 560 pages Publisher: W. W. Norton September 10, 2007 Language: English ISBN-10: 0393062260 ISBN-13: 978-0393062267 Product Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.6 x 1.5 inches Shipping Weight: 2 pounds *Product Description* A brilliant new translation and commentary of one of the Bible's most cherished and powerful books. Like the Five Books of Moses a cornerstone of the scriptural canon, the Book of Psalms has been a source of solace and joy for countless readers over millennia. The cleansing purity of its images invites reflection and supplication in times of sorrow. The musicality of its powerful rhythms moves readers to celebration of good tidings. So today as it has been throughout our past, this is a book to be cherished as the grounding for our daily lives. This timeless poetry is beautifully wrought by a scholar whose translation of the Five Books of Moses was hailed as a "godsend" by Seamus Heaney and a "masterpiece" by Robert Fagles. Robert Alter's The Book of Psalms captures the simplicity, the physicality, and the coiled rhythmic power of the Hebrew, restoring the remarkable eloquence of these ancient poems. His learned and insightful commentary shines a light on the obscurities of the text. *About The Author* Robert Alter is a widely acclaimed literary scholar. He is the Class of 1937 Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley.
