Abstract: A new translation in modern idiom of the Book of Ecclesiastes with an exciting story illustrating each verse forms the uniqueness of this book. The reason for this new and original translation into clear and contemporary English was to remove the language barrier of archaic biblical prose. The second dramatic innovation of this book is that each verse is explained and illuminated by a parable or a fable. In this book, you will find a rich and fascinating collection of parables, fables, and stories covering a period of three thousand years. They range from the earliest classical sources to those of the present day. Each verse and its story is a self-contained unit of reading matter. The author asserts that the book teaches that 'there is something positive and affirmative in life. Man has a duty to face up to its problems. In search for purpose, man will find the purpose of his search.' AMAZON https://www.amazon.com/dp/0819702846/?coliid=I1DYY8Y9X2E4U0&colid=1GVQJ87LI52KJ&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
