Echoes Of Egyptian Voices: An Anthology Of Ancient Egyptian Poetry

It is a long journey from the decaying fragments of stone and papyrus upon which ancient Egyptian literature is written to finished translations of that civilization's classics. In Echoes of Egyptian Voices, translator John L. Foster shows how these bits and pieces, hints of old poems written three and four thousand years ago, come alive again to illuminate their time, revealing a spirit that is relevant today.Fascinated as we are by pyramids and mummies, we know almost nothing of Egypt's verbal heritage.
