‘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
