This soft cover book was published by Pleasant Street Books. It is fully illustrated with original clay bas reliefs in the style of ancient Mesopotamian illustration. (The illustrator, Don Denton, has learned to create authentically within an ancient style - I know of no parallel achievement). The text, by Sonny Saul, is not a fresh translation but represents a narrative version which leaves out nothing and adds nothing. It achieves the difficult task of making comprehensible the wold's most ancient story and presents it, in a most accessible and beautiful format. Included is a brief historical note by the author. The book was originally published in an expensive and very limited hard cover edition which has sold out.

This affordable version is $15.00
