Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

An enthralling and lyrical fantasy debut, and the first in an incredible new trilogy re-telling The Epic of Gilgamesh, perfect for readers of Madeline Miller's Circe and Jennifer Saint's Ariadne. A tale brimming with warring gods, rebellious humans, and the goddess of love caught between them whose destiny has the power to transform the shape of the world. Stories are sly things…they can be hard to catch and kill. Inanna is an impossibility. The first full Anunnaki born on Earth in Ancient Mesopotamia. Crowned the goddess of love by the twelve immortal Anunnaki who are worshipped across Sumer, she is destined for greatness. But Inanna is born into a time of war. The Anunnaki have split into warring factions, threatening to tear the world apart. Forced into a marriage to negotiate a peace, she soon realises she has been placed in terrible danger. Gilgamesh, a mortal human son of the Anunnaki, and notorious womaniser, finds himself captured and imprisoned. His captor, King Akka, seeks to distance himself and his people from the gods. Arrogant and selfish, Gilgamesh is given one final chance to prove himself. Ninshubar, a powerful warrior woman, is cast out of her tribe after an act of kindness. Hunted by her own people, she escapes across the country, searching for acceptance and a new place in the world. As their journeys push them closer together, and their fates intertwine, they come to realise that together, they may have the power to change to face of the world forever. The first novel in the stunning Sumerians Trilogy, this is a gorgeous, epic retelling of one of the oldest surviving works of literature. BONUS FEATURE An exclusive preview of Book Two of The Sumerians trilogy, book club discussion questions and more!

Gilgamesh

The Sumerians Trilogy

By: Emily H. Wilson

The second book in the enthralling and lyrical Sumerians trilogy, retelling the Epic of Gilgamesh, perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Lucy Holland and Jennifer Saint. Now is the time for the gods of war Gilgamesh, soon to be crowned King of Uruk, travels north to find his homelands in flames and his family on the run. A blood-red moon brings warnings of a new kind of war, and in the far north, the enemies of Sumer are massing. Inanna and Ninshubar sail south to take their revenge upon Enki, the king of the water gods. Armed with the master mee and struggling to understand its true nature, Inanna will face impossible demons in her quest to fully comprehend the power she has inherited. Meanwhile Ereshkigal, queen of the underworld, has a mysterious visitor. This dark stranger brings with him the threat of dangers far more terrible than Enki, or even Sumer’s warlike neighbours. Because a long time ago, in a realm faraway, a little girl was taken from her family. Now, a vengeance, long prophesied, is about to unfold. As the forces of chaos rise across the riverlands, Gilgamesh must battle against overwhelming odds to save the city he loves, and the Anunnaki will soon discover that no one can escape the sins of the past. Not even the gods.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt

The Unlikely Hero of the Lusitania

By: Steven H. Gittelman,Emily Gittelman

At a young age, Alfred Vanderbilt inherited a massive fortune of $40 million and control of the Vanderbilt railroading empire. With no interest in business matters, the youth squandered his wealth on horses and women on two continents. None of the Vanderbilts gave as much fuel for gossip to the curious public as Alfred. By the time the extravagant playboy boarded the Lusitania on May 7, 1915, he was the subject of numerous scandals, including the suicide of four different women. But as the ship went down, he spent the last minutes of his life rescuing women and children and forgoing his own life. How is it that this wraith, this gluttonous, opulent youth, could undergo an entire change of character in his last few moments? Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt follows Alfred’s journey from philanderer to hero in this incredible, never-before-told story of the hero of the Lusitania.

From Agent to Spectator

Witnessing the Aftermath in Ancient Greek Epic and Tragedy

By: Emily Allen-Hornblower

This book looks at witnesses to suffering and death in ancient Greek epic (Homer’s Iliad) and tragedy. Internal spectators abound in both genres, and have received due scholarly attention. The present monograph covers new ground by dealing with a specific subset of characters: those who are put in the position of spectator to (and, often, commentator on) their own deed(s). By their very nature, protagonists are confined to the role of witness to the suffering (or deaths) they have caused only for brief stretches of time — often a single scene or even just the length of a speech — but every instance is of central importance, not just to our understanding of the characters in question, but also to the articulation of fundamental themes within the poetic works under examination. As they shift from the status of agent to that of witness, these protagonists, qua spectators to the consequences of their actions, give voice to, dramatize, and enact the tragic motifs of human helplessness and mortal fallibility that lie at the core of Homeric epic and Greek tragedy and that define the human condition, in a manner that leads the audience looking on to ponder their own.

Inanna

By: Emily H. Wilson,Alix Dewez,Alexia Cadou

« Les histoires, tels des serpents, nous glissent souvent entre les doigts. » Inanna a tout d'une impossibilité. La première Anunnaki de plein sang née sur Terre, dans l'antique Mésopotamie. Couronnée déesse de l'amour par ses douze pairs immortels vénérés dans tout Sumer. Promise à un destin hors du commun. À sa naissance pourtant, la guerre gronde et les Anunnaki, divisés en factions rivales, menacent de tout saccager dans leur conflit. Mariée de force afin de négocier une paix précaire, Inanna comprend très vite que sa nouvelle position la met en grand danger. Gilgamesh, fils mortel d'Anunnaki et séducteur notoire, se retrouve prisonnier du roi Akka, dont l'obsession est d'affranchir son peuple des dieux. Le héros dévoyé se voit cependant offrir une dernière chance de prouver sa valeur. Ninshubar, la fière guerrière, est chassée de sa tribu à cause d'un acte de bonté. Poursuivie par les siens, elle s'enfuit vers l'inconnu en quête d'acceptation et d'une place en ce monde. À mesure que leurs odyssées les rapprochent, tous trois prennent conscience que leurs destins mêlés pourraient bien changer la face du monde à jamais. Dans la lignée de Circé de Madeline Miller et d'Ariane de Jennifer Saint, la sublime réécriture épique d'une des oeuvres littéraires les plus anciennes de l'humanité : l'épopée de Gilgamesh. « Ciselé et élégant, ce roman m'a emportée dans un monde à la fois familier et inconnu - Inanna possède une magie envoûtante unique en son genre. » Claire North, autrice de Pénélope, reine d'Ithaque « Coup de coeur ! Une narration spectaculaire, une prose vibrante et une parfaite maîtrise du récit à plusieurs voix au service d'une histoire réellement captivante. » Joanne Harris, autrice de L'Évangile de Loki « Un récit subtil et envoûtant, mené à un rythme digne de ses racines épiques et alliant avec brio profondeur historique et imagination. Autrice prometteuse, Emily H. Wilson nous offre une formidable réécriture mythologique, porteuse d'un message intemporel sur le pouvoir, l'émancipation et la façon dont sont transmis nos récits culturels. » Lorraine Wilson, autrice de This Is Our Undoing

The Life and Letters of Emily Chubbuck Judson (Fanny Forester): Biographies and timelines

By: Emily Chubbuck Judson

Emily Chubbick Judson (1817-1854) is a well-known name, but for more reasons than most know. She was a nationally known writer (her pseudonym was Fanny Forrester) with pieces appearing alongside those by Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman, and she walked in literary company second to none. She wrote children's books, essays, and stories. Then, in 1845, she met Adoniram Judson and they married in 1846. Their work in Burma made them famous as Baptist missionaries. After his death in 1850, she returned to the States in 1851 and spent the last years of her life writing and publishing her essays and poetry, and helping to produce a biography of her husband. During her fascinating life, she was a prolific letter writer. This is the first volume of her life and works, with volumes 2 through 6 containing all of her letters. As these volumes are presented, readers and scholars in the future will find in this material encouragement for sharing more about the Judson lives, and the wonderful work they accomplished. Their humanity, their faith, and their deep commitment to their call should prove to be instructive and inspirational to each of our lives. Volume 1 consists of footnotes, time lines, and biographies that have all emerged out of the project itself. For example, many of Emily Chubbic Judson's letters are undated. To put them in sequence, the events, places, and people within the letters were identified so they could be understood and interpreted correctly; this resulted in a 'Cast of Characters' and 'Places and Events'. The 'Publication Time' puts Chubbick's writings in chronological order. The footnotes clarify and lend context to the names and faces, as well as the stories and the events within the letters, and the connectiveness between the letters. Volume 2 consists of the early letters Emily Chubbick Judson from the years 1836 through 1845.
