Showing why the Bible and its meaning can be brought to life in English only by re-creating the subtle and powerful literary style of the original text, Alter discusses the principal aspects of biblical Hebrew that any translator should try to reproduce: word choice, syntax, word play and sound play, rhythm, and dialogue. In the process, he provides an illuminating and accessible introduction to biblical style that also offers insights about the art of translation far beyond the Bible.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Language & Reference, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
