| book description |

A poem for the ages, freshly and accessibly translated by an international rising star, bringing together scholarly precision and poetic grace Â â€œSophus Helleâ€™s new translation . . . [is] a thrilling, enchanting, desperate thing to read.â€â€”Nina MacLaughlin, Boston Globe Â â€œLooks to be the last word on this Babylonian masterpiece.â€â€”Michael Dirda, Washington Post Â Gilgamesh is a Babylonian story about love between men, loss and grief, the confrontation with death; the destruction of nature; insomnia and restlessness, finding peace in oneâ€™s community, the voice of women, the folly of gods, heroes, and monstersâ€”and more. Translating directly from the Akkadian, Sophus Helle offers a literary translation that reproduces the original epicâ€™s poetic effects, including its succinct clarity and enchanting cadence. Millennia after its composition, Gilgamesh continues to speak to us in myriad ways.
