Epic of Gilgamesh
This ancient Babylon story tells about the powerful king Gilgamesh and his friendship with Enkidu, a being created to destroy him. The two share many adventures and win many battles against monsters, but eventually Enkidu is killed and Gilgamesh is devastated. He undertakes a desperate (and ultimately impossible) mission to find the secret of immortality. We carry two unabridged editions of this timeless tale, both translated by N.K. Sandars. ~ Rachel
