Peter Matthiessenauthor ofThe Snow LeopardandAt Play in the Fields of the LordStephen Mitchell's fresh new rendition of mankind's oldest recorded myth is quite wonderful in its limpidity and the immediacy of itslive emotions., Robert Colesauthor ofLives of Moral Leadership, The Call of Service,andThe Spiritual Life of Childrenand James Agee Professor of Social Ethics, Harvard UniversityHere is the wisdom and lyrical beauty of yore rendered, offered us anew, by a distinguished, ever-so-knowing translator and poet who has given so many of us a wondrous education these past years. Mitchell connects us to treasures of the past brought alive by his broad and deep sensibility., Harold Bloomauthor ofThe Western CanonandThe Book of JStephen Mitchell'sGilgameshis a wonderful version. It is as eloquent and nuanced as his translations of Rilke. This is certainly the best that I have seen in English., Elaine PagelsHarrington Professor of Religion, Princeton UniversityReading Stephen Mitchell's marvelously clear and vivid rendering makes me feel that I am encountering Gilgamesh for the first time.

Synopsis
An English-language rendering of the world's oldest epic follows the journey of conquest and self-discovery by the king of Uruk, in an edition that includes an introduction that places the story in its historical and cultural context., Gilgameshis considered one of the masterpieces of world literature, and although previously there have been competent scholarly translations of it, until now there has not been a version that is a superlative literary text in its own right. Acclaimed translator 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 thatGilgameshis more potent and fascinating than ever.Gilgameshdates from as early as 1700 BCE -- a thousand years before theIliad.Lost for almost two millennia, the eleven clay tablets 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 Rainer Maria Rilke first readGilgameshin 1916, he was awestruck. "Gilgameshis stupendous," he wrote. "I consider it to be among the greatest things that can happen to a person."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 can 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.

- n***w (383)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI’ve made purchase everything was perfect. All items arrived. Excellent eBay seller—highly recommended!
- r***y (295)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoOrdered because of non-stock photo and described condition, received a book with a huge "RENT ME" sticker that wraps around the front and spine. Clearly not the book in the listing or even similar, classic bait and switch. Aside from that, the book was probably in better shape before it got shipped. It was packaged only in plastic, no bubble, no cardboard. The corners of the hardcover are all smashed. Now I get to take a hair dryer and try to remove the sticker and own a tumbled looking bookA Friendly Introduction to Number Theory. 3rd edition. Joseph Silverman (N° 256593646615)
