Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He was the most powerful man alive. He had everything. And he lost the one thing that made any of it matter.Long before Homer wrote of heroes, long before the great empires rose and fell, one story was already being told. Pressed into clay tablets over four thousand years ago, Gilgamesh is the oldest epic ever recorded, and it asks the same questions that keep people awake at night today: What does it mean to truly live What do we leave behind when we are gone And what happens to a man who discovers, far too late, that power was never the point Gilgamesh was no ordinary king. Born of a goddess and a mortal father, he ruled the ancient city of Uruk with a force that shook the earth beneath his people's feet. He built walls that reached the sky and temples that touched heaven. He was magnificent, unstoppable, and utterly alone in the way that only the most powerful people can be alone, surrounded by everyone and known by no one.Until Enkidu arrived.What followed their seven-day battle was not a defeat. It was the beginning of the only friendship either of them would ever truly have, a bond so real and so rare that when it was taken, it sent the greatest king in the world running to the edge of existence searching for a way to get it back.What he found there will stay with you long after you close the final page.This is not a mythology textbook. This is a story about grief so heavy it breaks a king, about pride so unchecked it costs the person you love most, about the desperate human need to matter beyond the years we are given. It is about the moment a man who had everything finally understood what everything actually meant.If you have ever lost someone irreplaceable, ever questioned what your life is building toward, or ever stood at the edge of your own limitations and wondered what comes next, this story was written for you. It was written four thousand years ago and it has not aged a single day.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Enki and the World Order,' a Sumerian myth from the early second millennium BCE, depicts the god Enki's reconstitution of the Sumerian world after an unspecified catastrophe. The myth ends with a face-off between Enki and the goddess of love and war, Inana, who is dissatisfied with Enki's allotment of functions to the other goddesses. This volume presents a critical edition of the 472-line Sumerian text, with introduction, translation and commentary, based on 25 published and unpublished manuscripts, mostly from Nippur in what is now southern Iraq. All the manuscripts, with one exception, have been collated, and there are many new fragments and joins to previously known tablets. ; Studies in Ancient Near Eastern Records (SANER) is a peer-reviewed series devoted to the publication of monographs pertaining to all aspects of the history, culture, literature, religion, art, and archaeology of the Ancient Near East, from the earliest historical periods to Late Antiquity.
