Gilgamesh and Enkidu

A short collection of excerpts from [b:The Epic of Gilgamesh 617495 The Epic of Gilgamesh Anonymous https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327978290s/617495.jpg 3802528], published as a Penguin 60s Classic.As other reviewers have identified, this collection of excerpts leaves the reader without enough context to make the story connect well. The excerpts individually read ok, but I struggled to get a feeling for the overall story. Whether this is related to the selection or not, it is difficult to say.I have a copy of the full book hiding in shelf somewhere, so there is a good chance I will read it one day, and probably compare it back to this one. The impression I get is there was not a whole lot cut out to make it fit the Penguin 60s format, as the full copy I have has way more modern introduction than there is actually Epic. Time will tell...At this stage, this sits in low 3 star rating.
