PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A lyrical translation of the ancient Mesopotamian story of Gilgamesh, the King of Uruk, and his attempt to recover his dead friend Enkidu. Taking interesting liberties with the fragmentary original, Ferry recovers the spirit of the text, crafting a warm, poetic rendering of the timeless epic.
