具体描述
Gilgamesh is considered one of the masterpieces of world literature, and although previously there have been competent scholarly translations of it, until now there has not been a version that is a superlative literary text in its own right. Acclaimed translator Stephen Mitchell's lithe, muscular rendering allows us to enter an ancient masterpiece as if for the first time, to see how startlingly beautiful, intelligent, and alive it is. His insightful introduction provides a historical, spiritual, and cultural context for this ancient epic, showing that Gilgamesh is more potent and fascinating than ever.
Gilgamesh dates from as early as 1700 BCE -- a thousand years before the Iliad. Lost for almost two millennia, the eleven clay tablets on which the epic was inscribed were discovered in 1853 in the ruins of Nineveh, and the text was not deciphered and fully translated until the end of the century. When the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke first read Gilgamesh in 1916, he was awestruck. "Gilgamesh is stupendous," he wrote. "I consider it to be among the greatest things that can happen to a person."
The epic is the story of literature's first hero -- the king of Uruk in what is present-day Iraq -- and his journey of self-discovery. Along the way, Gilgamesh discovers that friendship can bring peace to a whole city, that a preemptive attack on a monster can have dire consequences, and that wisdom can be found only when the quest for it is abandoned. In giving voice to grief and the fear of death -- perhaps more powerfully than any book written after it -- in portraying love and vulnerability and the ego's hopeless striving for immortality, the epic has become a personal testimony for millions of readers in dozens of languages.

读后感
“吉尔伽美什呦，你要流浪到哪里？ 你所探求的生命将无处寻觅。 自从诸神把人创造， 就把死派定给人无疑， 生命就保留在他们自己的手里！ …… …….” ——《吉尔伽美什》第十块泥板•三（B） 吉尔伽美什为大神阿鲁鲁所创造，他身世非凡、膂力过人、英姿绝伦，他“三分之二...
评分为什么辽宁人民出版社居然会在2015年出版这样一本书，这恐怕是一个迷。今后我大概会对辽宁人民出版社的书敬而远之，读下来觉得它的态度太过敷衍，根本感觉不到对读者的尊重。 吉尔伽美什史诗一共也就12块石板，经历了两千多年的侵蚀，留存下来的连贯词句已经不多了，大部分段落...
评分第一次知道吉尔伽美什，还是因为fate系列那个金发作死傲娇“杂修”狂，那个时候觉得他好可爱，然后忍不住就开始搜集他的资料。最后就查到了《吉尔伽美什史诗》。 这部史诗不长，但是描述了一个人的成长史。从最开始的不成熟，到最后的贤王典范，吉尔伽美什一路转变。他年轻时的...

intro写的中西合并的。。还引用自己老婆的话哈哈哈
评分通俗易懂引人入胜哈哈哈
评分"Walk on the wall of Uruk, follow its course / around the city, inspect its mighty foundations, examine its brickwork, how masterfully it is built, / observe the land it encloses: the palm tress, the gardens, / the orchards, the glorious palaces and temples, the shops / and marketplaces, the houses, the public squares."
评分CL138
评分The speaker of CrashCourse says what makes Gilgamesh truly heroic is his human limitations. But I guess not. Does the realization of unavoidable death really free him at the end of the story? ????
