Gilgamesh: A New English Version Stephen Mitchell
Mitchell’s contemporary rendering of the Sumerian version of the ancient epic. It is a thousand years older than the Iliad and the Bible. His version is beautiful and moving and has the feel of its distant age. Its concerns are deeply human: friendship, honor, and especially grief and death and how a human should live. Really enjoyed it again in this version.
