Sobre IBD

The Babylonian Story of the Deluge and the Epic of Gilgamish by E.A. Wallis Budge is a compelling exploration of some of the oldest known literary works from ancient Mesopotamia. In this scholarly yet accessible volume, Budge presents translations and interpretations of the Babylonian flood narrative-often seen as a precursor to the biblical story of Noah-and the Epic of Gilgamesh, a legendary tale of a hero’s quest for immortality. Through these ancient texts, the book reveals the religious beliefs, mythological traditions, and cultural values of early Mesopotamian civilization. Rich with historical and linguistic insight, this work is essential for readers interested in comparative mythology, the origins of epic storytelling, and the enduring themes of human struggle, divine will, and the search for eternal life.
