About Book

--George Steiner, The New Yorker
"Entralling."

--Erik H. Erikson
"The thoughtful reading of this astonishing translation has been for me a rare experience combining poetry and enlightment."

Book Description
The theme of The Book of Job is nothing less than human suffering and the transcendence of it: it pulses with moral energy, outrage, and spiritual insight.

Now, The Book of Job has been rendered 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.
