The Epic of Gilgamesh by (unknown) tr. Andrew George (1999, ISBN 978-0-140-44919-8)

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a very old story. Copies of it have been found on clay tablets (cuneiform) that are 4000 years old. The copies of the Epic that have been found are incomplete. This book presents the Epic as it is, i.e., using the tablets that have been found and deciphered. Places where the text are incomplete are indicated.

This edition if the Epic is probably more difficult to read, but if you are interested you will get a better understand of what is known about the Epic.
