Sixty passages transcribed from papyrus and stone provide glimpses into daily life in Egypt during a flowering of art and literature nearly 4,000 years ago. The selections talk about the cosmos, the state, the king, the life of the land, religious life, and the "other" life; and they include formal statements and proclamations as well as quickly drafted bureaucratic memos, informal jokes, and heartfelt personal letters. Parkinson, affiliated with the British Museum, provides a general introductory essay and introductions to the topical sections and to each text. Illustrated in b&w. Distributed in the US by The David Brown Book Company. This is a paperbound reprint of a 1991 book. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
