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.
"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."

评分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? ????
大洪水——由史诗演化为教义 廖康 历史上,许多民族都经历过大洪水的灾难。自然,许多民族都有关于大洪水的神话传说。最著名的当属《圣经•旧约》里记载的诺亚方舟的故事。然而,由于这个故事和目前已知人类最早的史诗《吉尔伽美什》中大洪水的情节非常相似,也由于巴比...
评分 评分吉尔伽美什,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...
评分第一次知道吉尔伽美什,还是因为fate系列那个金发作死傲娇“杂修”狂,那个时候觉得他好可爱,然后忍不住就开始搜集他的资料。最后就查到了《吉尔伽美什史诗》。 这部史诗不长,但是描述了一个人的成长史。从最开始的不成熟,到最后的贤王典范,吉尔伽美什一路转变。他年轻时的...
