The Koran interpreted
A. J. Arberry (Translator)
"No book is the history of the world, with the possible exception of the Bible, has so dramatically influenced the course of civilization as the Koran. Yet no book of comparable importance has been so little understood in the West, and this must in large part be attributed to the difficulties of translation, discussed in the preface to this edition. Since its first publication in 1955, Professor Arberry's translation has come to be recognized as the best available, in that the rhetoirc and artistry of the Arabic text carry over into an accurate translation in clear and lucid English."-Publisher
