About This Book
First published in the United States in 1949 and widely condemned as
obscene, The Egyptian outsold every other novel published that year, and
remains a classic; readers worldwide have testified to its life-changing
power. It is a full-bodied re-creation of a largely forgotten era in the
world's history: the Egypt of the 14th century B.C.E., when pharaohs and
gods contended with the near-collapse of history's greatest empire. This
epic tale encompasses the whole of the then-known world, from Babylon to
Crete, from Thebes to Jerusalem, while centering around one
unforgettable figure: Sinuhe, a man of mysterious origins who rises from
the depths of degradation to become personal physician to Pharaoh
Akhnaton.
Mika Waltari (1908~1979) is best known for his historical novels, which
include The Etruscan and The Roman. He is widely considered the greatest
Finnish writer of the 20th century.
