Gilgamesh pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Gilgamesh is considered one of the masterpieces of world literature, and although previously there have been competent scholarly translations of it, until now there has not been a version that is a superlative literary text in its own right. Acclaimed translator Stephen Mitchell's lithe, muscular rendering allows us to enter an ancient masterpiece as if for the first time, to see how startlingly beautiful, intelligent, and alive it is. His insightful introduction provides a historical, spiritual, and cultural context for this ancient epic, showing that Gilgamesh is more potent and fascinating than ever.
Gilgamesh dates from as early as 1700 BCE -- a thousand years before the Iliad. Lost for almost two millennia, the eleven clay tablets on which the epic was inscribed were discovered in 1853 in the ruins of Nineveh, and the text was not deciphered and fully translated until the end of the century. When the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke first read Gilgamesh in 1916, he was awestruck. "Gilgamesh is stupendous," he wrote. "I consider it to be among the greatest things that can happen to a person."
The epic is the story of literature's first hero -- the king of Uruk in what is present-day Iraq -- and his journey of self-discovery. Along the way, Gilgamesh discovers that friendship can bring peace to a whole city, that a preemptive attack on a monster can have dire consequences, and that wisdom can be found only when the quest for it is abandoned. In giving voice to grief and the fear of death -- perhaps more powerfully than any book written after it -- in portraying love and vulnerability and the ego's hopeless striving for immortality, the epic has become a personal testimony for millions of readers in dozens of languages.
虽然有批评作者整合译本时不够严谨又夹杂私物的,对于第一次读这个故事的人来说,是个有趣又好读的版本。看fate系列时会更注意到闪闪半神的思考方式,读完这本印象更深却是他人性的一面。对自身情感的表达直白又热烈,恐惧和追寻的依然是生而为人亘古不变的话题。感觉可以挖掘的好多呀,介于评论,又去下了Andrew George的版本,待读来对比ww【然后我看完似乎恩闪了(。
评分The speaker of CrashCourse says what makes Gilgamesh truly heroic is his human limitations. But I guess not. Does the realization of unavoidable death really free him at the end of the story? ????
评分到最后印象最深的还是“the capacity of love”
评分跨越千年历史大气格局的——BL小说。这版本腐得我作为基佬都脸红了好嘛。Gilgamesh如果都不爱Enkidu了,你他妈告诉我什么叫做爱!——Ishtar简直被黑出水了。
评分"Walk on the wall of Uruk, follow its course / around the city, inspect its mighty foundations, examine its brickwork, how masterfully it is built, / observe the land it encloses: the palm tress, the gardens, / the orchards, the glorious palaces and temples, the shops / and marketplaces, the houses, the public squares."
吉尔伽美什,即巴比伦的赫拉克勒斯,力大无比,宛如野牛。 《吉尔伽美什》里他的身世显赫,贵为女神宁孙之子,同时姿容隽秀,拥有“见过万物”、“通晓一切”的智慧,然而他的统治残暴无比,但对他残暴的描写仅仅限于开篇。整部史诗对吉尔伽美什桀骜不驯的描写不多,而是相反除...
评分有没有人从《吉尔伽美什》里面吉尔伽美什派神妓去降服恩巴都,让他从野人逐渐变成文明人的情节联想到沈从文的《扇陀》啊?我觉得两者在情节上很像,《扇陀》里面国王派扇陀去山中降伏候补仙人,仙人也是被女人给迷住了,随扇陀来到城里,只不过这个故事是完全以此为主线的。挺...
评分上个再上个礼拜五听讲座的时候记下的一些笔记。最近期中考试,耽搁了没整理,差点荒芜了,还好还看得懂…… Epic of Gilgamesh的历史 古老的神话大部分都是集体创作的产物,Gilgamesh自然也不例外。 Gilgamesh诞生于公元前3000年左右的两河流域,比旧约(约公元前1500年)和伊...
评分世界古老的英雄王---吉尔伽美什,高傲并且残暴,为使他变的谦卑恭顺,诸神造了恩奇度。 一个陪衬的角色终难逃死亡的命运,但正是他的死让吉尔伽美什开始考虑生命、死亡的意义。虽然最后他失去了能让他永生的植物,但从中显示了苏美尔人对生命的看法:生命终于虚无,即使它看起...
