En savoir plus sur le livre

This work aims to present the results of critical studies of the Old Testament, focusing on a single book of ancient Palestinian literature known for its human interest. The term "Ecclesiastes," used by the Greek translator, attempts to convey the meaning of the Hebrew word Koheleth, which signifies "one who assembles." However, since the author intended for Koheleth to be viewed as a proper name, the translation seems unnecessary. The title Ecclesiastes can feel harsh and uninviting, contrasting with the book's lightness. Therefore, the author retains the name Koheleth and uses "A Gentle Cynic" to reflect both the book's character and the author's concealed identity. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing significant historical works, utilizing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct texts while preserving their original format and addressing imperfections. While some flaws from the original may remain, most are repaired to maintain the integrity of these historical pieces.
