Ecclesiastes, attributed to King Solomon, is one of the most intriguing books in the biblical canon. A collection of words of wisdom and proverbs, it is also a fascinating interrogation of the meaning of life. This questioning is taken so far that, were it not for the last verse of this book, the sages of the Talmud would have removed it from the biblical canon. The book you have before you is probably one of the most beautiful versions of Ecclesiastes ever published in French. Everything contributes to its beauty, from the elegance of the translation to the typography, from the lettering to the burins. Each page is meticulously thought out and crafted, and the result is sublime.
