Gilgamesh
"[Gilgamesh] has never been better served than in this new translation...Maier's contribution is the meticulous scholarship that envelopes the book...John Gardner's contribution...is the translation itself: lyrical, sinewy, emotionally uncompromising and rhythmically brilliant."-- William L. Moran, The New York Times Book Review"The authors brilliantly achieve the goal of infusing the poem with new life and meaning for the modern reader"-- Ronald Bailey, Newsday"A moving and exceptionally readable version of the poem."-- Aaron Shurin, The San Francisco Chronicle
