Description

This anthology of ancient Egyptian tales, features stories which are considered to be the oldest in the world. The tales shed light on the origins of literature in general and folklore in particular, and illuminate the intersection of oral and literary traditions. Many of the ancient stories explore the same issues and concerns that are encountered in modern life-love, family ties, fidelity and infidelity, destiny, political and military alliances, heroic nationalism, and seafaring adventures.
