Media Reviews

'His most crafted and idiosyncratic book...Steegmuller's skill...results in one of those books which hovers on the edge of inventing a new genre."    -- Julian Barnes

   -- Independent (London)

"I can't think of a happier book to slip into a pocket in the VIP lounge than 'Flaubert in Egypt'-it will see us through at least one hijacking. For three reasons: Flaubert was a genius, genius is uncommon, and everything connected with it is interesting."    -- Cyril Connolly

"[A] most engaging compilation, made, translated and edited with his habitual skill and quiet scholarship by the late Francis Steegmuller."    -- John Sturrock

   -- Times Literary Supplement

Rare indeed is the book that may legitimately claim to match the visual experience of a journey along the Nile. Egypt: Splendors of an Ancient Civilization does just this, presenting in magnificent color some of the finest photographs ever taken of Egypt's monuments and fabulous treasures. Each location visited, from Tanis to Abu Simbel, is illustrated by a site plan and photographs not only of the principal structures but also of objects from the site, allowing these extraordinary works of art to be appreciated in their original setting. Specially commissioned and highly informative cross-sectional diagrams, including reconstructions of the tombs of Tutankhamum, Sethos I and Queen Nefertari, a double fold-out map of the course of the Nile and an illustrated glossary complete this panoramic study of Egyptian civilization.
