Krátký popis
The ancient Sumerian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the
oldest written stories in existence, translated with an
introduction by Andrew George in Penguin Classics. Miraculously
preserved on clay tablets dating back as much as four thousand
years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world's oldest
epic, predating Homer by many centuries. The story tells of
Gilgamesh's adventures with the wild man Enkidu, and of his arduous
journey to the ends of the earth in quest of the Babylonian Noah
and the secret of immortality. Alongside its themes of family,
friendship and the duties of kings, The Epic of Gilgamesh is, above
all, about mankind's eternal struggle with the fear of death. The
Babylonian version has been known for over a century, but linguists
are still deciphering new fragments in Akkadian and Sumerian.
Andrew George's gripping translation brilliantly combines these
into a fluid narrative and will long rank as the definitive English
Gilgamesh. If you enjoyed The Epic of Gilgamesh, you might like
Homer's Iliad, also available in Penguin Classics.
