Description
A groundbreaking new translation of Bolesław Prus's Pharaoh brings to life a unique and compelling picture of ancient Egyptian society. With poetry, humor, and moments of transcendent beauty, this historical novel offers a gripping portrayal of life at every level of Egyptian society.
As the story unfolds, the young Pharaoh learns that challenging power leaves him vulnerable to seduction, defamation, intimidation, and even assassination. The ultimate lesson learned by Ramses is the power of knowledge. This new edition of Christopher Kasparek's translation includes a detailed foreword and annotations, based on extensive research and textual refinements, that will enhance your appreciation for ancient Egypt and Prus's composition process.
Pharaoh has been translated into twenty-three languages and was adapted as a 1966 Polish feature film. This edition is a vivid and engaging introduction to this extraordinary novel, well suited to readers interested in historical fiction and the literature of ancient Egypt.
