The Classic Verse Rendering Of The Great Epic Of Ancient Mesopotamia.Gilgamesh Is The Story Of The Godlike Ruler Of The Ancient Mesopotamian City Uruk. The Start Of The Poem Finds Gilgamesh As A Brutal Tyrant, Whose Potency Is Unmatched And Unchecked. The God Aruru Fashions Him A Match, A Wild Man Called Enkidu, Who Fights The Ruler But Soon Becomes GilgameshS Beloved Companion And Friend. The Story Of Their Shared Heroism, The Pain Of EnkiduS Untimely Death, And Of GilgameshS Quest For Immortality Was Told Across A Series Of Cuneiform Clay Tablets. It Is Said To Be The Oldest Recorded Literary Work.David FerryS Elegant Verse Rendering Transmutes The Ancient Epic Into The Language Of Our Time. Much Like Robert FitzgeraldS Odyssey Or Seamus HeaneyS Beowulf, FerryS Gilgamesh Is A Work Whose Poetic Invention And Lyrical Rendering Makes New That Which Is Ancient, And Draws Forth The Antique Echoes That Persist In Our Moment.
