Whenever I would mention I was reading this book, the response was pretty much the same: amazing book! Such a great book! oohh, I read it when I was kid and I loved it! The story is very interesting from historical, sociological, and even scientific point of view. Amazing the work behind from the writer, all the research he must have done, to make it very accurate and exciting.For me the best part was when describing all the new science he was finding during his trips. The saddest part was to see that humans on the power haven’t changed. And low instincts have corrupted and destroyed human kingdom, and all on behalf of illusions (or gods, religions)In general, I consider this book an exceptional reading. I wish someone would add The Egyptian as a single-volume book, since I'm pretty sure that's how it was published in an English version (at least in mine). In fact, I have a very tattered soft-cover version of the first Swedish translation (printed in Helsinki) and all further Swedish versions have also been single-volume novels; I had no idea it was ever printed in halves. Tragically, the book is somewhat abridged in translation, and I always wondered what I was missing out on.I love this book, and re-read it every two years or so. Love, drama, tragedy, war, religion, horror, humour ... I don't really know how to classify it beyond "historical" (maybe I should just make a "Waltari" shelf :p).As with all Waltari's historical novels, the more you learn of history, the more facts you find in the books, though distorted through the eyes of the protagonist. In this book, especially, you'd also have to use history books from the 1940s and earlier to get the details Waltari used, since so much has been discovered and re-evaluated since then.
Do You like book Egipcjanin Sinuhe, Tom 1 (1945)?
It was really exiting! I loke the history books and this book made me intrest .
