Mitchell does more than translate, he reimagines the stories by removing later additions and separating the different sources intweworven in the text we all know. This sometimes produced epiphanies for me and at others moved me more powerfully than the more familiar text, e.g., his redaction of the story of Joseph. ( ) I'm a Mitchell fan. I think his translation of the Tao Te Ching is the definitive modern version. His scholarly approach is tempered with a poet's sensibility, and the way he writes speaks to me. His reworking of the Genesis mythos was a fascinating read. He teases apart the contributions of the various authors of the book, and shows the stories entire. I've got to say that even Mitchell can't redeem the begats for me- those are still deadly boring. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Breaks fresh ground...Mitchell's translation tells the stories in a voice much like the ancient Hebrew, without adornment." -- Seattle Times From the author of The Gospel According to Jesus comes a new adaptation of the book of Genesis. In this highly acclaimed translation, Stephen Mitchell conveys in English the simplicity, dignity and powerful earthiness of the original Hebrew. More than just interpreting it, he also separates stories that were combined by scribes centuries after they were written, explaining their sources and omitting all verses that are recognized as scribal additions. Like removing coat after coat of lacquer from a once-vibrant masterpiece, this allows readers to appreciate the clarity of the original tales. Genesis is an extraordinarily beautiful book that is accessible in a way that no other translation has ever been. It will shed new light on readers' understanding of this seminal work of sacred scripture. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
