The Classic Literature Book Club focuses on literature that has withstood the test of time and continues to be relevant.
If you always wanted to read and discuss such books, the Classic Literature Book Club might be the book club for you. We meet on the third Saturday of the month from 10:15 AM until noon on the 2nd floor of Bozeman Public Library in the Ponderosa meeting room.
August selection: The Epic of Gilgamesh: the Babylonian Epic Poem
Preserved on clay tablets dating back as far as four thousand years ago, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world's oldest epic. It tells of Gilgamesh's adventures with the wild man Enkidu, and of his arduous journey to the ends of the earth in quest of the Babylonian Noah and the secret of immortality. In addition to its themes of family, friendship and the duties of kings, it is the story of mankind's eternal struggle with the fear of death.
Copies of this selection can be checked out with no waiting as an eBook or audiobook here on Hoopla.
