## Description

The untold story of how the Arabic Qur'an became the English Koran For millions of Muslims, the Qur'an is sacred only in Arabic, the original Arabic in which it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century. To many Arab and non-Arab believers alike, the book literally defies translation, yet English translations are growing in both number and importance. Bruce Lawrence tells the remarkable story of the centuries-long quest to translate the Qur'an' s lyrical verses―and to make English itself an Islamic language. A translation saga like no other, this panoramic book looks at cyber Koran s, versions by feminist translators, and even a graphic Qur'an by the acclaimed visual artist Sandow Birk.

Review: Interesting - Not quite what I was expecting! But, still interesting - just not a regular Koran! Not like a Bible! (Book). But, still an interesting read! More about Mohammad’s life!
Review: Love it. - This a rare book on an important topic that isn't covered much. I really enjoyed read it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks like a must-own
*by B***9 on January 6, 2018*

I'm not sure how I came upon this 2017 title, but it looks fantastic – I went to Barnes & Noble especially to check it out; I thumbed through several pages at the store and it seems to be much more than just an appraisal of English translations; it's a modern history, illustrating evolving relationships of both Muslim and non-Muslim translators and communities with the Quran. Can't wait to read – very engaging prose.
