Robert Alter, translator, The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary (or should that go under “fiction”?).
3. Robert Alter, The Art of Bible Translation . Alter is one of today’s most important doers, and his forthcoming Hebrew Bible translation is likely to be definitive and the most important act of publication this year. This short volume presents his perspective on what he has done, most of all focusing on how to turn Hebrew into English.
Robert Alter, a translation with commentary, Strong as Death is Love , including The Song of Songs, Ruth, Esther, Jonah, Daniel. I haven’t read this one yet, but Alter’s biblical works are among the greatest scholarly creations of our time.
7. Robert Alter, translator, The Wisdom Books: Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes . He is my favorite Biblical translator and this is a sure thing, I will read this one.
5. The Book of Psalms , translated by Robert Alter (my favorite Biblical translator). Recommended.
