A Book Lover’s Guide to the Zodiac marries astrology and literature by connecting both writers and fictional characters to the twelve different star signs and their particular traits.
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
Astrology and literature have so much in common: our star signs help us to understand ourselves, our motivations and our behaviour, whilst reading enables us to make sense of the world, our own characters and those around us. Read how the passionate and overly idealistic Madame Bovary from Flaubert’s masterpiece exhibits all the traits of a Gemini, whilst the unconventional Virginia Woolf and Lewis Carroll, with his groundbreaking stories, are typical Aquarians.
With a chapter devoted to each star sign, and featuring entertaining extracts and poetry by classic writers, there’s much to learn and entertain here about books, poetry and astrology, guided by Charlie Castelletti’s witty and expert commentary running through the book.
The calendar material in this expanded edition of Walk Like An
Egyptian provides further insight into the mind of the ancient

Like An Egyptian brought the concepts of ancient Egyptian religion
and philosophy into the context of the modern world. Readers around
the globe found the once-obscure ideas of ancient wisdom
interpreted as profound contemplations of the reality of human
nature. Many familiar names in the ancient pantheon were revealed
in modern terms, such as: Osiris, the divine and immortal portion
of each human's soul clothed in mortal flesh; Re, the divine light
of consciousness in the mind; Horus, who is the paradox of the
universal nature of each soul's unique identity; Isis, bonding
force of the soul; Thoth, representing the power of human thought
and intellect, and more. The success of Walk Like An Egyptian led

and festivals. difficult Cairo Calendar Papyri, one of the few
surviving documents detailing the system by which Egyptians
