The Epic of Gilgamesh
The longing stretch toward the infinite...the reluctant embrace of the temporal... This is the eternal lot of mankind. This is The Epic of Gilgamesh. Literature's first chronicle of man's search for meaning was born in the Cradle of Civilization over 4,000 years ago. Since their discovery approximately 100 years ago, the fragmented tablets of the text have captivated scholars from a variety of fields and general readers interested both in literary roots and a smashingly good story.
The fifteen original woodcuts by artist Thom Kapheim illustrate Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers' vibrant edition of The Epic of Gilgamesh and present a visual retelling of the tale. Limited edition, numbered and signed woodcut prints are available from Thom Kapheim.
