Description
Gilgamesh, a story of friendship and adventure, has been retold for nearly four thousand years. The story of a tyrannical king and his wild counterpart, brought to life by the gods, is one of the most compelling in world literature. This epic poem has been translated many times, but Simon Armitage's version brings a new vitality and immediacy to the ancient text. Grounded in the latest scholarship, Armitage's poetic rendering offers a thrilling portal into the dawn of storytelling.
