Gilgamesh the King (and 3 bonus short stories: Gilgamesh in the Outback; The Fascination of the Abomination; Gilgamesh in Uruk)
Silverberg Robert[plus from Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, the 3 original illustrated stories: Gilgamesh in the Outback (July 1986); The Fascination of the Abomination (July 1987) & Gilgamesh in Uruk (June 1988) - these stories would later be combined to form the fix-up novel To the Land of the Living]
Gilgamesh the King is Robert Silverberg at his brilliant best. His extraordinary imagination coupled with unchallenged writing skill, takes us beyond the known frontiers of the science fiction genre.
Using as his armature the life of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian god-king who actually lived some 5000 years ago, Silverberg has wrought an epic tale destined to become a contemporary classic.
Gilgamesh contains fantasy elements only a talent as rich as Robert Silverberg’s can devise. Gilgamesh meets and battles Enkidu, the only man strong enough to become his friend; and together they journey to the threshold of the gods. Ultimately these exploits incite the gods to anger and the way in which they retaliate leads Gilgamesh to yet another quest, this time a discovery that brings the relief and sorrow of age.
Gilgamesh is myth and magic; it is also the story of fame, nobility, and mortality. It is sorcery, mysticism, and adventure. It is a wondrous story conceived and crafted by a wondrous storyteller. It is Robert Silverberg at his brilliant best.
