| Sumario: | "Since it was first published nearly three decades ago, Robert Alter's The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as not only a human creation, but a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible's many authors used innovative literary styles and devices to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God. In so doing, Alter shows, these writers reshaped not only history, but also the art of storytelling itself. Updated with a new preface, myriad revisions, and passages from Alter's own critically acclaimed biblical translations, The Art of Biblical Narrative is an indispensable tool of biblical and literary scholarship alike."-- |
