The literature of Ancient Egypt originated as early as the fourth millennium BC. These ancient monuments of human creativity were lost and forgotten for a long time, but in the XNUMXth century a new discovery awaited them, which continues to this day. The value of the finds is not limited to their great cognitive value and undoubted artistic merits - 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 most ancient fairy tales and stories in the world literature. The reader will learn how the powerful sorcerer Jedi predicted the death of his dynasty to Pharaoh Khufu (“Pharaoh Khufu and the sorcerers”), together with brave travelers he will go to distant seas and unknown lands (“The Shipwrecked”, “Cunning Commander Dzhhuti”), get acquainted with the life of the ancient Egyptian peasant family and its patriarchal way of life ("Two brothers"). The "History of Sinuhet" will convincingly prove that it is pointless to seek a better life in a foreign land, and "The Misadventures of Unuamun" will tell the colorful story of the wanderings of an ambassador sent for a cedar tree necessary for the construction of the sacred boat of Amun.
The book is illustrated with atmospheric drawings by Anna Hopta.
