Writings from Ancient Egypt
Autor Toby Wilkinsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2016
But writings make him remembered'
In ancient Egypt, words had magical power. Inscribed on tombs and temple walls, coffins and statues, or inked onto papyri, hieroglyphs give us a unique insight into the life of the Egyptian mind. Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has freshly translated a rich and diverse range of ancient Egyptian writings into modern English, including tales of shipwreck and wonder, obelisk inscriptions, mortuary spells, funeral hymns, songs, satires and advice on life from a pharaoh to his son. Spanning over two millennia, this is the essential guide to a complex, sophisticated culture.

Recenzii
Until
now
few
people
beyond
specialists
have
been
able
to
read
the
texts,
many
of
them
inaccessible
within
tombs
...
hieroglyphs
were
pictures
but
they
conveyed
concepts
in
as
sophisticated
a
manner
as
Greek
or
Latin
script,
[Toby
Wilkinson]
said.
Filled
with
metaphor
and
symbolism,
they
reveal
life
through
the
eyes
of
the
ancient
Egyptians.
Tales
of
shipwreck
and
wonder,
first-hand
descriptions
of
battles
and
natural
disasters,
songs
and
satires
make
up
the
anthology.
This book offers a taste of the vast body of ancient Egyptian literature. In addition to glamorous accounts of war and royalty, it's packed with extraordinarily personal tales of life and the social anxieties of the time.
