Ancient Egypt

Do you want to discover the world of the "Pharaohs" with all its "grandeur and magic"? The book "Ancient Egypt" offers us a unique window into one of the greatest civilizations in human history. The book takes us on an exciting journey to the "Land of the Canaan," where we explore "the history, culture, and society of ancient Egypt," since "the era of the great pharaohs," "the building of the pyramids," and "the flourishing of the arts and sciences." The book presents in a smooth and interesting manner "the lives of the Pharaohs, their families, and their armies," "their myths and legends," and "their temples and wars." Naguib Mahfouz's translation of this book constitutes an important addition to the Arabic library, as it added to it an "aesthetic literary dimension," making it suitable for different categories of readers.

كان "جيمس بيكي" (1866-1931) عالمًا مِصريّاتٍ وَمُؤرّخًا اسكتلنديًا، اشتهرَ بِدراساتِه لِـ "الحضارة المِصريّة القديمة". وَعلى الرّغمِ من أنّه لم يَزُر مصرَ قَطّ، فإنّه اعتمدَ على "الكتابات وَالتّقارير الأثريّة" لِإِنتاجِ أَعمالٍ مُتميّزةٍ في هذا المجال. وَتُعتَبرُ مؤلّفاتُهُ مرجعًا هامًّا لِلدارسين وَالهواة على حَدٍّ سواء.
