Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Bound in quarter red paper with blue paper boards. Cover is plain with silver foil lettering on the spine. Review; "There are countless good reasons to read The David Story, Robert Alter's new translation of the story of King David (beginning in I Samuel and ending in I Kings 2). In the book's introduction, Alter contends that the story of David is "probably the greatest single narrative representation in antiquity of a human life evolving by slow stages through time, shaped and altered by the pressures of political life, public institutions, family, the impulses of body and spirit, the eventual sad decay of the flesh. It also provides the most unflinching insight into the cruel processes of history and into human behavior warped by the pursuit of power." Alter's translation is more literal than the King James version, which makes his rendering of Scripture newly immediate and jarring. (When Samuel anoints David in I Samuel 16, for instance, "the spirit of the LORD gripped David from that day onward.") This David Story is worth reading for the footnotes alone, which describe in vivid detail the mechanics of sheep-shearing festivals, sacrificial feasts, and other cultural phenomena that add depth and life to this familiar story."--Michael Joseph Gross. xxxv 410pp. Colorfully illustrated dustjacket. CONDITION: The Covers are unmarked, pages are crisp and clean. Dustjacket has very light rubbing. Full refund if not satisfied.
