{"product_id":"gilgamesh","title":"Gilgamesh","description":"\u003cp\u003eGILGAMESH is the oldest known legend. In this beautiful, full-color version, the distinguished author and artist, Bernarda Bryson, has created a richly moving interpretation of the mighty deeds of Gilgamesh, the great hero-king, part god and part man. First written down in Sumerian cuneiform 3,000 years before Christ, the story of Gilgamesh tells of a great flood and of one man, befriended by the gods, who survived by building an ark. In the feats of Gilgamesh and his companion, Enkidu, a monster-man who becomes gentle and loves and respects the King, are found the sources of the great mythological heroes, Hercules, Jason and Theseus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to its importance in the history of children's literature, GILGAMESH is an exciting, dramatic and often amusing tale-setting jealous god against jealous god, and man against man in remarkable battles of wit and strength. Bernarda Bryson has set down a stirring epic accompanied by exquisite prints which impart to the reader her own lifetime fascination with the myth of Gilgamesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Reg Down, Bernarda Bryson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44446828232940,"sku":"9781477589861","price":33.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781477589861.jpg?v=1779903162","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/gilgamesh","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
