"A flowing, unbroken version that reads as effortlessly as a novel...with startlingly familiar hopes, fears, and lusts. Mitchell...cracks open the lessons inGilgameshby rebuilding its clay fragments into a poem easy on the eyes and the transcultural imagination....Vibrant, earnest, unfussily accessible.... The muscular eloquence and rousing simplicity of Mitchell's four-beat line effectively unleash the grand vehemence of the epic's battle scenes, and the characters' ominous visions emerge with uncanny clarity." --The New York Times Book Review, "Seamus Heaney isn't the only one intent on making the classics relevant to our times.

    Book was a bit more beat up than expected -- but glad I bought it because the work itself is excellent. You will find yourself reading this in 1-2 nights. Large seller so understandable that small things like USED stickers on spine are not always noted.
