## Description

Gilgamesh, half-god and half-man, in his loneliness and isolation becomes a cruel tyrant over the citizens of Uruk. To impress them forever he orders a great wall to be built, driving his people to exhaustion and despair so that they cry to the Sun God for help. In answer, another kind of man, Enkidu, is sent to earth to live among the animals and learn kindness from them. He falls in love with Shamhat, a singer from the temple, and he follows her back to Uruk. There, Enkidu, the “uncivilized” beast from the forest, shows the evil Gilgamesh through friendship what it means to be human.

Review: EL LIBRO NUNCA LLEGO - Conozco este libro de la colección (son una trilogía) y es una preciosidad. Los dibujos son impresionantes y el texto, basado en la historia de Gilgamesh es muy bueno (en inglés). Se trata de un libro (cuaderno ilustrado) difícil de conseguir, muy caro o de segunda mano. Pedí los otros dos que llegaron sin problemas, pero este último viene de otra tienda, no de desertcart, a la que he comprado varias veces otros libros sin problemas. Esta vez no hubo suerte, se envió por Royal mail...nunca ha llegado. Voy a pedirlo a desertcart.com para ver si lo consigo. Me han hecho un reembolso sin problemas. El servicio de desertcart, como siempre impecable.

It's a Wonderful set of books that should grace all children's books shelves

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating story and beautiful illustrations
*by R***L on 26 September 2013*

It was enjoyable to read Zeman's interpretation of Mesopotamian myths. She did a great job retelling the story in an interesting yet child-appropriate way. We got all three books in the series and read them all on evening. The illustrations are beautiful. A hardcover would make a beautiful gift if they were not so expensive and hard to find.
