“ The Bible, in both old and new testaments, may be read in many ways. For others, it is the purest literature we have in the English language. For still others, it is a compendium of information on suffering, struggling, rejoicing human nature.”
In this magnificent retelling of the Old Testament, Pearl S. Buck displays the genius for language, the storytelling skill, the human compassion that have made her one of the great writers of out time. Here, in words that are at once wonderfully clear and thrillingly beautiful, are immortal stories that have captured the human imagination down through the centuries, and now have been made accessible in all their power and immediacy to the reader of today.
