«I Sumeri» is the historical essay by Helmut Uhlig, published by Garzanti in paperback (282 pages, in Italian).
Helmut Uhlig reconstructs the history, culture and art of the Sumerians, the civilisation that around 2800 BC created the first great human culture in Mesopotamia. The book reviews their irrigation canals, temples, cuneiform writing and the context of their archaeological rediscovery in present-day Iraq, with the Epic of Gilgamesh in the background.
The book belongs to the collection «Il corso della storia», translated by Gianni Pilone Colombo. The German original, «Die Sumerer», appeared in 1976; this Italian edition, in 1982.
For readers interested in ancient history, archaeology and the civilisations of Mesopotamia.
