Excerpt from A Gentle Cynic: Being a Translation of the Book of Koheleth, Commonly Known as Ecclesiastes, Stripped of Later Additions; Also Its Origin, Growth, and Interpretation In presenting Koheleth in a new garb, minus the trimmings which were attached to the original composition, it is my hope to make a remarkable literary production more intelligible than is possible by reading it in any of our present-day translations of the Old Testament, which are all modeled on the classic authorized version of 161 1, and which all assume the book to be a literary unit in its present form. In other words, I have tried to give the reader the book of Koheleth in its original form, as nearly as that is at present possible; and it is only fair to add that, in order to do so, it has been necessary to correct the text in places where in the course of being copied by one scribe after the other it has manifestly become corrupt. The total number of such corrections, however, is not excessively large. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
