With fascinating protagonists and exciting scenes, the writer takes us to a now remote world: ancient Sumer, a land of gods and heroes, of courageous and ambitious people, where the different kingdoms struggle for power.
“The path of the cedars” is the story of Gilgamesh, the greatest of all heroes of antiquity. It is the story of a young man yearning for recovering his kingdom, Uruk, the glory achieved by his forebears. He refused to accept a comfortable life of luxury in exchange for a resigned submission to the powerful palace of Kish.
They say that when Alexander the Great conquered Babylonia and he was told the epic of Gilgamesh, he found at last the piece of evidence he had longed for. The proof of the fact that, even though some civilizations may be born and die, and new empires may raise and then eventually fall, the memory of a great hero will remain forever in the minds of men and women.
Live this adventure through its protagonists: the young and courageous Gilgamesh, and his rebel friend Enkidu; the beautiful Samhat, known to all in Uruk as “the tigress”; Mebaragesi, the powerful King of Kish, and his ambitious child, prince Arketi; Tarina, prioress of the Ishtar Temple and the most graceful creature that man has ever seen; Kemami, the rude mercenary who is the head of a group of fearful warriors. These and many other characters will enthrall you in this thriller that combines action and adventure.
Before the events in ancient Egypt, before ancient Greece or the Roman Empire, everything took place in Sumer, land of Gods and ambitions. This is a story of adventure and treason, but also of courage, love, and friendship.
SUMMARY:
An intriging historical novel that first takes you to Alexander’s Babylonia. From there, taken by the hand of an old librarian, you will discover next to the Greek conqueror the most beautiful of all the Jewells kept by his enemy, King Darius: a collection of delicate and small lapis lazuli boards in whose engraved surface the Epic of Gilgamesh, the legendary Sumerian king, is depicted.
You will travel then to the fertile vales of ancient Sumer, in the summer of the year 2,760 b. C. and you will accompany the young Gilgamesh, his friend Enkidu and the mercenary Kenami, in an impassioned expedition that will take them to the faraway region of Canaan. A journey ripe with dangers from which many hope they will never come back.
