Ancient Egypt
This is the fifth in a "series" by Wilbur Smith. I picked up the first at a thrift store and then promptly ordered the other four through eBay sellers. They are all centered around Taita, a gifted member of Pharoah's court. He is a lovable, conceited, loyal eunuch that lives through multiple rulers lives and families. A genius is all matters, but fascinating in describing the literature, architecture, medicine and multiple aspects of court life. I loved them, wish there were more!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A good read
I have read all 6 books in this ancient Egyptian series and have enjoyed them all. Although these are novels, the historical events surrounding the characters are right on target.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
