Description
The earliest known piece of literature, GILGAMESH, is an epic saga of life, death, love, and betrayal, all set against the landscapes of the ancient world. A thrilling epic of monsters and gods and the human beings caught between them, GILGAMESH is also a philosophical meditation on the purpose -- and fragile impermanence -- of life. Accompanied by thirty full colour illustrations, it features a new text that supplements the epic with additional stories that take you deeper into the story than ever before.
