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 comprehensive Introduction with a light touch (Beckman), a poetic rendering with verve and moxie (Lombardo): This edition of the colossal Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic should satisfy all readers who seek to plumb its wealth and depth without stumbling over its many inconvenient gaps and cruxes. 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
