This stirring new version of the great Babylonian epic includes material from the recently discovered ""monkey tablet"" as well as an Introduction, timeline, glossary, and correspondences between lines of the translation and those of the original texts.

A fine gift to all lovers of great literature."" —Jack M. Sasson, Emeritus Professor, Vanderbilt University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
