Thank God for the translation and literary explanations Mitchell puts on this book.The first half of the book is Mitchell's take on the book, where he surmises what is going on and then expounds on the depths of the meaning behind it. It's an easy and straight forward explanation that took me maybe half of a solid day of reading.Then there's the second half, which is the actual 'Epic of Gilgamesh' as it was translated. Also very straight forward, but without Mitchell's 'behind the scenes' explanation, it just reads like a one dimensional story.SO, thank God Mitchell wrote the explanations how he did (easy to read, took all of a day to read the entire book, as about 1/3 of it is simple references) - because without Mitchell's explanations, to me (and I imagine a lot of other people) the depth of Gilgamesh would have been immediately lost.
I just finished reading this version of Gilgamesh, and I'm still feeling the glow. I'm not new to Gilgamesh - I had read several versions already, but I am new to Stephen Mitchell. This version is by far the best I have read! Beginning with a 65 page introduction which I found delightful to read (Do yourself a favor and don't skip it - It, too is interesting and lively and you'll enjoy the author's insights) - Michell's adept writing brought life and a sense of personal connection to this work that I had missed in past readings. Mitchell's words flowed with rhythm and feeling throughout this great literature, made greater than I had remembered in the hands of other writers.I purchased this work for my Kindle, but in view of one of the reviewer's complaint that the eBook was displayed in prose rather than as it appears in print, I also opted to buy the printed book as well. Upon opening the hard copy, I was disappointed to find that the print throughout was in a fairly small and light font ... definitely not what I would have wished. So I turned to my Kindle edition: I experienced no problem at all in the "prose vs poetry" lines - The rhythm was obvious (and enjoyed by me) in spite of lack of line breaks. I'm so glad I did buy the eBook - Very enjoyable reading and with no eye strain.Only one problem: I was surprised to find that I had reached the end so soon ... I had become so engrossed in the story that the time flew, and, though I wasn't reading for speed, it was one of the fastest reads I've had the pleasure to complete.
I got this accidentally. My daughter needed an edition of Gilgamesh for school, and I got this instead of the edition she needed. I am SO glad I did.I have been wanting to read Gilgamesh for years. I got a copy in college, I couldn't make it through. I picked up another copy on some other occasion, I couldn't make it through. Barely got through the first few pages.THIS one... I love it. Easy to read. Easy to follow the story. Plenty of notes in the back where he explains when and where and why he made the translation choices he did. Simply fantastic.Can't say enough good things about this edition.. Well worth reading. It is actually a fun and exciting story once you get past all the scholarly stuff, which is to be expected. Gilgamesh wasn't written as literature, it was an adventure story, and Stephen Mitchell brings it back to it's very, very, very old roots.
I had not read the entire Gilgamesh story before, but I read some passages in high school English class. This is a great edition that ties together the fragments of the Gilgamesh story that have survived for thousands of years in a way that seems true to the way it was written in the original language and text. I enjoyed listening to the tales, and especially the commentary about the writing of this version and the research involved in piecing together the fragments. Enjoyable, especially for a long road trip.
This version of the great Babylonian epic Gilgamesh is immensely readable and lively, Mr. Mitchell's version does not try to overawe the reader but strives to make the material approachable, and at this he certainly succeeds. My own regret is that the editor/translator - Stephen Mitchell's introduction was so thorough and lengthy that it all but made the actual tale redundant. While informative, the introduction was too much of a blow by blow account to be labeled a proper introduction, it was rather a " synopsis en toto" {that's a term I just made up but I think you get the picture.
This is a review of the Kindle version of Mitchell's "version" of Gilgamesh, not the "version" itself. I use the term "version" because, as Mitchell himself admits on p. 65, this isn't a translation. What Mitchell's done here is to cobble various English translations together into his own "version" of the epic. And his "version" is exquisite and eminently readable. I've taught it for several years, and I'm always amazed at how students respond so positively to this ancient tale. Unfortunately, the Kindle version ignores the care with which Mitchell organizes/arranges his "version" into verse (which he explains on pp. 65-66) by not retaining the poetic formatting. Instead, Mitchell's "version" is turned into a prose narrative, thus abdicating one of the things that makes his "version" so accessible. I returned my Kindle copy because of this, and I'd encourage others to do the same.
This Stephen Mitchell book is an excellent presentation of The Epic of Gilgamesh. The interpretation of the text makes the story much more understandable. The broad underpinnings of the myth story -- the great flood, the mourning of the loss of a loved one, the search for eternal life -- are made understandable. This is highly readable and enjoyable presentation of a classic myth.
