Publisher's Synopsis
Christian Jacq, a passionate Egyptologist and internationally bestselling author, has pulled together some of the most fascinating, inspirational and beautifully written extracts from ancient Egyptian texts: words from well-known pharaohs, from unknown scribes, words that are profane, or deeply religious... Wherever they come from, they invite us to share the eternal mystery of Ancient Egypt, and to find from these words of wisdom a kind of inner peace and harmony in the frenetic world we live in today.
