Lives of the Ancient Egyptians
From the dawn of history to the death of Cleopatra, ancient Egypt was home to larger-than-life personalities. Across one hundred lives, Toby Wilkinson explores the true character and diversity of human experience in the ancient world's greatest civilization. Some of those profiled are famous: pharaohs and queens such as Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Ramesses II and Tiye. Others are lesser known but equally engaging: Imhotep, architect of the first pyramid; Perniankhu, the court dwarf; and the royal sculptor Bak. Equally illuminating are the lives of commoners, so rarely given their own voice: ordinary men and women who include a doctor, a dentist, a housewife, a musician - and a serial criminal.

Akhenaten - Egypt's False Prophet
One of the most compelling and controversial figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other Egyptian pharaoh. Known today as a heretic, Akhenaten sought to impose upon Egypt and its people the worship of a single god - the sun - and in so doing changed the country in every way.
In this immensely readable re-evaluation, Nicholas Reeves takes issue with the existing view of Akhenaten, presenting an entirely new perspective on the turbulent events of his seventeen-year reign. Reeves argues that, far from being the idealistic founder of a new faith, Akhenaten cynically used religion for purely political ends in a calculated attempt to reassert the authority of the king. Backed up by abundant archaeological and documentary evidence, Reeves's closely written narrative also provides many new insights into questions that have baffled scholars for generations - the puzzle of the body in Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings; the fate of Nefertiti, Akhenaten's beautiful wife, and the identity of the mysterious successor, Smenkhkare; and the theory that Tutankhamun, Akhenaten's son and true heir, was murdered.
Queen, Empress, Concubine
'Poisoners', 'whores', 'witches' and 'murderers' - or so their enemies claimed. From Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, to the villainous Catherine de Medici and her flying squadron, to England's 'Gloriana' Elizabeth I, and the modern phenomenon of female prime ministers - Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher and Benazir Bhutto - Claudia Gold looks at three and a half thousand years to examine the lives of fifty of the world's most exceptional rulers - all of them women. Each biographical profile sets its subject clearly in the culture and context of its time, enabling the author not only to tell the stories of these 50 astonishing women, but also to provide a fascinating and informative alternative social history.

Ancient Egypt The Great Disco
This is the story of Ancient Egypt as it was revealed to the world - a succession of discoveries and treasures. The book provides a trip through the golden ages of archeaology in Egypt, from the discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 to the Golden Mummies in 1999. The discoveries are presented through archival images and extracts from notebooks, diaries and published accounts of excavators. Some finds are world famous, such as Nefertari's tomb and King Khufu's royal boats, others are less well known and they include the Ferlini treasure with its cache of gold and the jewels of Egyptian princesses unearthed at Dahshur.

Ramszesz 4. Abu Szimbel úrnője
II. Ramszesz fáraó, a fény fia a külső és belső ellenséggel, valamint az önmaga kételyeivel és emberi gyarlóságával vívott harcban felülkerekedve elnyerte Egyiptom trónját, szerelme, Nofertari kezét, a nagy hatalmú istenek jóindulatát, népe szeretetét, ellenfelei tiszteletét. Ám elnyerni valamit könnyebb, mint megtartani. Ramszesz tudja ezt, hiszen a győztest is újabb és újabb próbatételek várják. Hiába volt a véres kadesi csata, Egyiptom urának nem sikerült végleg megtörni a hettiták erejét. A szenvedélyes, féktelen ifjúból higgadt, bölcs férfivá érett Ramszesz azonban ezúttal okos stratégaként nem a fegyveres harcot, hanem a tárgyalásokat választja. Így lesz az egykori ellenfelekből szövetséges, amelyre annál is inkább szüksége van Ramszesznek, mert onnan éri támadás, ahonnan nem várja. Gyermekkori barátjával, diákkori társával, a zsidó Mózessel kell felvennie a harcot, aki sok-sok év után azért tér vissza a fővárosba, hogy népét kivezesse Egyiptomból. Minden eddiginél ádázabb küzdelem veszi kezdetét...
Ramszesz csak Nofertarira számíthat s hódolata jeléül két csodálatos templomot emeltet Abu Szimbelben, örök szerelmük jelképeként.
De vajon Abu Szimbel úrnőjének a varázsereje és a maroknyi hűséges barát ébersége elegendő-e ahhoz, hogy megóvja Ramszeszt a rá leselkedő veszélyektől?
Erre a kérdésre választ kapunk Christian Jacq pergő cselekményű, fordulatos, mesterien szerkesztett regényéből, ahol tökéletes egyensúlyban van a mesés és a valóságos, a fikció és a történelem, a szabadon szárnyaló képzelet és a tudományos tényanyag.

Sinuhe l´Egiziano
Best seller dell'autore Mika Waltari, questo romanzo ha raggiunto in breve tempo il milione di copie vendute solo in Europa. La ragione di questo successo va ricercata nello straordinario interesse della vicenda, nella perfetta ricostruzione dell'Egitto dei Faraoni e nella simpatia che desta nel lettore il protagonista di questa singolare vicenda: il medico Sinuhe, un personaggio ricco di fascino e di mistero. Sinuhe ? forse il personaggio eterno della ricerca umana che non si appaga mai, attraverso l'amicizia, l'amore, la gloria e anche la malinconia delle cose amate e non conquistate. Accanto a lui: il faraone Akhenaton, Nefertiti, la malvagia e sensuale moglie di Akhenaton, il generale Horemheb e Nefernefernefer, rapace cortigiana di Tebe.
