The literature of Ancient Egypt dates back to the fourth millennium BC. These ancient monuments of human creativity were lost and forgotten for a long time, but in the XIX century they were rediscovered, which continues to this day. The value of the findings is not limited to their great cognitive value and undoubted artistic merit - despite the abyss of centuries separating us from the authors of these works, the ideas contained in them are close and understandable to all of us. The book includes the oldest fairy tales and stories in the world literature. The reader will learn how the powerful sorcerer Jedi foretold Pharaoh Khufu the death of his dynasty ("Pharaoh Khufu and sorcerers"), together with brave travelers will go to distant seas and uncharted countries ("Shipwrecked", "Cunning commander Jhuti"), will get acquainted with the life of the ancient Egyptian peasant family and its patriarchal way of life ("Two Brothers"). "The Story of Sinuchet" will convincingly prove that it is pointless to seek a better deal in a foreign land, and "The Misadventures of Unuamon" tells the colorful story of the wanderings of the ambassador sent for cedar wood, necessary for the construction of the sacred boat of Amon.
The book is illustrated with atmospheric drawings by Anna Hopta.
