SUMMARY:Big Books: Gilgamesh
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes called the Assyrian Odyssey\, Gilgamesh is a 
 too-much-neglected masterpiece of world literature and the prototype for 
 superhero sagas. Written about a thousand years before the oldest parts of 
 the Bible\, it has all that we expect from an epic: divinity’s action in 
 our lives\, a hero’s travails and accomplishments\, dramatic depth\, and 
 poetic insight. In addition to a close reading of the text\, we will 
 discuss how the translator’s art profoundly affects our experience. 
 Joseph Alulis returns to lead this three-week session of Big Books\, a 
 guided discussion series of major works of literature. Sponsored by the 
 Friends of the Glencoe Public Library.\n\nRegistrants may pick up their 
 copy of the book and a bookmark with the reading assignments at the 
 Reference Desk starting January 4. The book is yours to keep. One copy per 
 household. If your plans change and you will not be participating in the 
 series\, please let Grace Hayek know as soon as possible and promptly 
 return your copy of the book so someone else can use it.
