Description
"The Song of Songs", often referred to as the "Song of Solomon", is one of the greatest love poems of all time. In their lyrical translation, Ariel Bloch and Chana Bloch restore the sensuousness of the original language and strip away the veils of mistranslating that have obscured the power and meaning of the poem. Presented "en face", this translation is scrupulously faithful to the Hebrew text.
