In this illuminating book, Schmidt discusses the special fascination Gilgamesh holds for contemporary poets, arguing that part of its appeal is its captivating otherness. Its translation, interpretation, and integration are ongoing. The discovery of a pre-Noah flood story was front-page news on both sides of the Atlantic, and the poem's allure only continues to grow as additional cuneiform tablets come to light. The poem had to be reassembled, its languages deciphered. Fragments of the poem, incised on clay tablets, were scattered across a huge expanse of desert when it was recovered in the nineteenth century. Schmidt describes how the poem is a work in progress even now, an undertaking that has drawn on the talents and obsessions of an unlikely cast of characters, from archaeologists and museum curators to tomb raiders and jihadis. Acclaimed literary historian Michael Schmidt provides a unique meditation on the rediscovery of Gilgamesh and its profound influence on poets today. It is a story of monsters, gods, and cataclysms, and of intimate friendship and love. Lost for centuries to the sands of the Middle East but found again in the 1850s, it tells the story of a great king, his heroism, and his eventual defeat. It is also the newest classic in the canon of world literature. Gilgamesh is the most ancient long poem known to exist. Reflections on a lost poem and its rediscovery by contemporary poets

Departing from the standard screw-tightening plot, he sent his Bulgarian hero back and forth across Europe on a series of almost self-contained adventures. It was then, of all times, that Furst wrote Night Soldiers (1988), a spy novel about the Nazi-Soviet conflict. One by one the swastikas disappeared from airport book racks, and by the late 1980s, Follett had taken to writing about cathedrals instead. After enjoying one final smash with Ken Follett’s Eye of the Needle (1978), the genre was gradually displaced from best-seller lists by the hi-tech thrillers of Tom Clancy et al. Readers who have never heard of Alan Furst may be surprised to learn that historical spy fiction is still being written at all.

He looked like a child staring at an empty Christmas tree. '“Well," said the captain, reluctant to go. A Child Staring at an Empty Christmas Tree This simile, "like a dark wine poured to the ceiling," is especially apt since the conversation has intoxicated her husband with visions of killing these intruders, leading to his foolish and reckless murder of Nathaniel York and his human companion. “Slowly, slowly the night came in to fill the room, swallowing the pillars and both of them, like a dark wine poured to the ceiling." ("Ylla")įollowing a dispute between Yll and Ylla, a Martian husband and wife, over Ylla's dreams of the arrival of humans, night falls and fills the room.
