Relation In Favor Of Books Faraon (Faraon / The Pharaoh and the Priest #1-2)

Pisarz, poruszający w swoich utworach przede wszystkim aktualne tematy społeczne, w Faraonie sięgnął do modelu powieści historycznej, próbując zinterpretować sens przemian dziejowych. Tytułowa postać utworu, faraon Ramzes XIII, młody, ambitny i wrażliwy na ludzką krzywdę pragnie zreformować państwo, m.in. przez ograniczenie władzy kapłanów egipskich. Egipt jest dla niego budowlą, której ściany tworzą ludzie, a faraon - tylko architektem całości. W ten sposób staje się wrogiem Herhora i innych kapłanów, którzy za pomocą wszelkich metod starają się bronić swojej pozycji i majątku. Osamotniony w walce stopniowo uświadamia sobie, że w grach politycznych ludzie nie zawsze kierują się ideą sprawiedliwości...

Discuss Containing Books Faraon (Faraon / The Pharaoh and the Priest #1-2)

brilliant. how it was done. just masterly. but it took me ages.

I returned to what was probably one of first three major books I remember reading. It was 12 or 13 at the time. This is not appropriate literature for that age though I think I liked slogging through it. I was probably drawn to it because it was available in a local library and also I must have heard that its some sort of an established classic. We see a conflict, very early, between the young future pharaoh Ramses XIII and the chief priest and careful politician Herhor. Its historical accuracy

This book can be considered as political fiction as well as show how to not do the things when you are crown prince. Ramses XIII was fictional ruler whose rule was so short to even be mentioned. We follow him as a prince who decided to oppose to high priests, who had real power in their hands now pharaoh. He was naive and he often indulge affairs with women, which brought so much misery to everyone except him. He ignored blissfully everything and everyone in his way to clean Egypt and brought it

Very interesting story of the way of life of ancient Egypt, with a lot of intrigues and revelations. The development of new Faraon is shown. Also it is one of the favorite books of Stalin. And frankly speaking I know why :) Recommend!

A brilliant novel based on the detailed research of ancient Egyptian culture and history. It places a gripping, if perhaps slowly implemented, story around the infighting of power between pharoah & state and religious leaders & money. The detail of the several groups within the dynamic (Phonicians, Jews and Greeks etc) is well placed. I had recently listened to a Great Course series of lectures on ancient Egypt so could understand the importance of the power of women, past history and

A book from my childhood (not exactly for a child), I didn't care back there that it's a "brick". I've read it more than once, but not sure how many times, I've chose "2" because it's "not just once". ;) It's still one of my favourites to this day, and not (just) because of priestess Kama. This book, written in the end of 19th century, still remains valid. If you like historical and/or political novels, this one is definitely for you.More detailed review after I read it again. ;)

Ladies and gentlemen I propose today a challenge write two reviews in one day. Knowing, that I write very long reviews, and heavy:-), and last night I slept little will be a real challenge for me. Originally was going to write the review of the "village of eight graves ' of the interesting Seishi Yokomizo https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... & from_search = true https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , but on Wednesday my boss have a seminar, and the lecturer going to give away a book
