The oldest known recorded story in the world is that of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love and fertility. Deciphered from cuneiform tablets from ancient Iraq, the inspiring myth of Inanna tells the tale of the emergence of the goddess into womanhood, her search for wisdom, her courtship, marriage, descent into the underworld, and rebirth. This fresh retelling of ancient texts about a beloved deity is illustrated with visual artifacts of the period.
Diane Wolkstein has been teaching, performing, and writing for over thirty-five years. She is the author of numerous award-winning books of folklore, including The Magic Orange Tree, and Other Haitian Folktales and Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth: Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer. Ms. Wolkstein gives workshops on storytelling worldwide and lives in New York City. “In the myth of Inanna, Wolkstein and Kramer give us back the totality of woman, the ruler-wife-lover-redeemer, whom all worshiped and from whom all life flowed. It is a thrilling rediscovery.” - Olivier BernierYou may also like
