By Mary Bryan

Unlock the ancient legend that inspired myths, religions, and heroic tales for over 4,000 years.

Long before Homer, long before the Bible-The Epic of Gilgamesh told the story of humanity's struggle with love, power, loss, and the fear of death. This awe-inspiring epic, written on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia, is not just the world's first great literary masterpiece-it's a timeless reflection of the human condition.

✔️ The story of Gilgamesh, a powerful king of Uruk whose pride leads to a divine confrontation
✔️ His deep friendship with Enkidu, a wild man created by the gods to humble him
✔️ Epic battles, mystical forests, terrifying gods, and the heartbreaking journey through grief
✔️ The timeless quest for immortality, and what it means to truly live a meaningful life
✔️ The historical and cultural context behind the story-Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylon, and the invention of writing itself

This is more than just a myth-it's the blueprint of all heroic stories. Whether you're a fan of ancient history, mythology lovers, students of literature, or seekers of profound philosophical insight, this edition offers an unforgettable experience.
