Product Description
-New York Herald Tribune
"The Egyptian contains the ingredients Americans relish: war, women, intrigue, romance, wassail, horror, and lavish scenes of violence..." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Book Description
First published in the United States in 1949 and widely condemned as obscene, The Egyptian outsold every other novel published that year, and remains a classic; readers worldwide have testified to its life-changing power. It is a full-bodied re-creation of a largely forgotten era in the world's history: the Egypt of the 14th century B.C.E., when pharaohs and gods contended with the near-collapse of history's greatest empire. This epic tale encompasses the whole of the then-known world, from Babylon to Crete, from Thebes to Jerusalem, while centering around one unforgettable figure: Sinuhe, a man of mysterious origins who rises from the depths of degradation to become personal
physician to Pharaoh Akhnaton. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
