Description

The golden age of Ancient Egyptian literature took place around 1940-1640 B.C. This book collects many surviving narrative poems from that time and includes detailed introductions and textual notes on each work. Thirteen full writings are included, along with many phrases and fragments from other works. One of the most famous stories is that of Sinuhe, the courtier who flees Egypt and has adventures that bring wealth and happiness, but who only finds true meaning to his life when he returns to his homeland. Other works include the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor, The Words of Neferti, The Teaching of King Amenemhat, and many more. The translator, R.B. Parkinson, provides several pages of notes for each work included. This collection of classic writings makes a great addition to any library. 298 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
