The First Story

[Julnar]

What book or story is considered to be the first one told?

[weeal]

found this on google:

There's no single candidate for the oldest book as such, because the earliest texts were lists of items on tablets, then catalogues, then descriptive catalogues and so on. These were all pre-Minoan texts, carved into tablets. The oldest known story is the Epic of Gilgamesh. And yes, you can find it on Amazon.
