Such a great book! The best thing about the story of SINUHE is that it all happened before us and if you really analyse the book and details you'll see there are still people like the Pharoes, Kapta, Merit, and Sinuhe in our generation. Sinuhe, the egyptian is a very good book but i think that waltari have writen better ones for example "mystery of kingdom" try that!!!Ī cycle of life, the way they lived, we are, and the ones after us will.
felt too much like a commercial to you ? Its not. It is now my favourite book ever, and without it, i wouldnt be the man i am today. So i thought it`d definitely mean something, so i read it through. And, could you imagine, he just gave the book to me while entering the train. In 20 minutes he had finished the book and his train arrived. He just left this "special" impression on me, so i just stood and watched him. I saw an old man sitting on a bench, reading a book, i saw that he found the book terribly interesting, as he let two trains pass by, not wishing to put the book away. I was in a metro two years ago, waiting for my train to arrive. He's an ex -Marine, raised from 2-17 years beyond the frontier of Brazil (like our wild west days) and he loved the Egyptian. I want to buy another for my partner's 44th birthday. I can't remember when I've read such a richly descriptive and compelling novel of historical fiction.WOW! In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.I found a 1949 beat-up edition of The Egyptian on my boyfriend's bookshelf and read it. I wonder if this Cretan Ophiotauros has any basis in ancient legends, or if it's entirely Waltari's invention.Ģ Wikipedia contributors. Sinuhe loses his mind from grief, but Kaptah finally succeeds in calming him down and convinces him to realize that it's best to move on and return to Syria. He finds her dead body and the remains of the Cretan god (described as a bull-headed sea serpent), and realises that she has been killed by the god's high priest Minotaurus to prevent Minea from returning and tell the god is dead. A while after Minea has been escorted into the mountain cave, Sinuhe enters the cave to search for Minea. In the evening before Minea should enter the mountain cave, they marry each other unofficially. Sinuhe is horrified by this and fears that he will not see Minea again.
Minea has grown up with the mission to sacrifice herself as a virgin to the local bull god who lives in a mountain cave at the sea. Here's a quick summary of the time Sinuhe, the novel's protagonist, spends in Minoan Crete 2: Mika Waltari's excellent historical novel The Egyptian, set in Ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten 1, features a bull-headed sea serpent Cretan god.
