{"product_id":"gilgamesh-reg-down-paperback","title":"Gilgamesh -- Reg Down, Paperback","description":"\u003cstrong\u003e\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\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reg Down\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/4\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" H x 8.5\" L x 0.26\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781477589861\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329257484442,"sku":"9781477589861","price":36.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781477589861.jpg?v=1781531920","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/gilgamesh-reg-down-paperback","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
