Do not buy this book. It's another archaic off-copyright piece of junk that Amazon uses to fill out its Kindle offerings. The translation is stilted and old-fashioned. I've seen better in print (see Penguin edition in paperback, not available on Kindle). And if you are a Jew, and perhaps even if you are not, you will be offended by translator notes including gems such as "the tragedies that befell the Jews were the fulfillment of prophecy -- punishment for the murderers of our saviour."Amazon, please remove this volume.
