In The Epic of Gilgamesh A Modern Narrative in Two Volumes, I bring the 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian epic to life in clear, contemporary English--crafted from the ground up to work both as a Kindle ebook and as a fully produced audiobook.
Volume I - The Heroic Deeds
Meet Gilgamesh, the powerful and reckless king of Uruk, and Enkidu, the wild man created by the gods to challenge him. Their first clash becomes one of the great friendships in world literature. Together they journey to the Cedar Forest, confront the monstrous guardian Humbaba, and defy the goddess Ishtar by slaying the Bull of Heaven.
Volume II - The Search for Immortality
Glory has a cost. After Enkidu's death, Gilgamesh is shattered and terrified of his own end. His grief drives him on a journey far beyond his city's walls--through deserts and mountains, past scorpion-guarded gates and the dark road of the sun--to Utnapishtim, the man who survived the great flood and was granted a different kind of life. What he discovers is not a magic escape from death, but a hard truth about how we live knowing we must die.
This edition:
Retells the complete epic in fresh, modern prose--no academic jargon, no footnotes.
Keeps the classic "tablet" structure as chapters for easy reading and listening.
Includes both volumes in one continuous story: The Heroic Deeds and The Search for Immortality.
