Gardner's version restores the poetry of the text and the lyricism that is lost in the earlier, almost scientific renderings. The principle theme of the poem is a familiar one: man's persistent and hopeless quest for immortality. It tells of the heroic exploits of an ancient ruler of the walled city of Uruk named Gilgamesh. Included in its story is an account of the Flood that predates the Biblical version by centuries. Gilgamesh and his companion, a wild man of the woods named Enkidu, fight monsters and demonic powers in search of honor and lasting fame. When Enkidu is put to death by the vengeful goddess Ishtar, Gilgamesh travels to the underworld to find an answer to his grief and confront the question of mortality." ******************************************************* SERIES : Perennial Classics / TITLE : Beowulf (An Updated Verse Translation) / AUTHOR : Unknown / TRANSLATOR : Frederick Rebsamen / IMPRINT : HarperPerennial / PLACE : New York / DATE : 2004 / EDITION : First HarperPerennial Edition / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Paperback; contains an Introduction; Genealogies, character names, Bibliography (Selected Readings); [xvi] + 112 pages; 5 1/4" x 8"; pictorial wraps, glued. / CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted: No crease to spine; covers bright; soft bumps to fore-edge corner tips and front cover has a slight yawn.
