Stephen Mitchell�s lithe, muscular rendering allows us to enter an ancient masterpiece as if for the first time, to see how startlingly beautiful, intelligent, and alive it is. His insightful introduction provides a historical, spiritual, and cultural context for this ancient epic, showing that Gilgamesh is more potent and fascinating than ever.<br /> Gilgamesh dates from as early as 1700 BCE�a thousand years before the Iliad. Lost for almost two millennia, the eleven clay tables on which the epic was inscribed were discovered in 1853 in the ruins of Nineveh, and the text was not deciphered and fully translated until the end of the century. When the great poet Rilke first read Gilgamesh in 1916, he was awestruck. &quot;Gilgamesh is stupendous,&quot; he wrote. &quot;I consider it to be among the greatest things that can happen to a person.&quot;<br /> The epic is the story of literature�s first hero�the king of Uruk in what is present-day Iraq�and his journey of self-discovery. Along the way, Gilgamesh discovers that friendship can bring peace to a whole city, that a preemptive attack on a monster may have dire consequences, and that wisdom can be found only when the quest for it is abandoned. In giving voice to grief and the fear of death, perhaps more powerfully than any book written after it, in portraying love and vulnerability and the ego�s hopeless striving for immortality, the epic has become a personal testimony for millions of readers in dozens of languages.<br /> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</pre>
