Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology contains all the substantial surviving works from the golden age of Ancient Egyptian fictional literature (c.1940-1640 B.C.). Composed by an anonymous author in the form of a funerary autobiography, the Tale tells how the courtier Sinuhe flees Egypt at the death of his king. His adventures bring wealth and happiness, but his failure to find meaningful life abroad is only redeemed by the new king's sympathy, and he finally returns to the security of his homeland. Other works from the Middle Kingdom include a poetic dialogue between a man and his soul on the problem of suffering and death, a teaching about the nature of wisdom which is bitterly spoken by the ghost of the assassinated King Amenemhat I, and a series of light-hearted tales of wonder from the court of the builder of the Great Pyramid."--Jacket

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egypt, Other Poems They piled them to the sky, where clouds are rolled Around their summits at a dizzy height, Stupendous still as when they blest Sesostris' sight. Live on, great Thebes What though the desert sweep O'er other cities, be thou still the same; Thou wast the cradle, art the couch of Sleep, Where genius rests: and yet no loftier name Stands up against thee with a better claim, A stronger grasp on immortality. Where is the nation that has fixed its aim So near perfection, or can rival thee? Unique must be its life if it undying be. Proudly, O Nile, thy sacred water glides, Gemmed with a coronal of gorgeous fanes Thebes, the transcendent, o'er the whole presides; Thy rugged hills are cleft, and on thy plains The pomp of kings in silent grandeur reigns. Temple and tomb and palace, side by side, Stand ruined all; yet Time himself maintains Deep reverence o'er their dust, as far and wide And desolate they stand amid their pristine pride.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative and adventurous book, this collection of poems is in the form of a conversation with Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Hatshepsut, Speak to Me, Ruth Whitman's eighth volume of poetry, is her most innovative and adventurous book. It is in the form of a conversation with Queen Hatshepsut, the only woman pharaoh in ancient Egypt, whose reign of more than twenty years was one of the most peaceful and artistically splendid eras in Egyptian history. As poet and pharaoh talk to each other, it becomes apparent that the two lives intersect remarkably across the centuries. Both must face problems of sexual identity, love, work, mothering, conflict, and loss. An admirer of Hatshepsut for the past forty years, Whitman has spent the last five researching the pharaoh's life and surrounding culture, visiting Egypt twice in order to study the landscape along the Nile to contemplate Hatshepsut's monuments, particularly her spectacular three-tiered temple at Deir el Bahri in the Valley of the Kings. The result is a vibrant glimpse into two parallel lives, illustrating a unique relationship between two women separated by twenty-five centuries, and illuminating many of the issues relevant to every contemporary woman's experience. Whitman goes beyond just telling Hatshepsut's story. She connects herself with the life of her subject, speaks to her, and learns from her. Hatshepsut, Speak to Me represents a culmination of Ruth Whitman's series of groundbreaking narrative poems written in the voices of other extraordinary women--Lizzie Borden, Tamsen Donner, Hanna Senesh, Anna Pavlova, and Isadora Duncan.
