Cracking the Egyptian Code is the first biography in English of
Jean-Francois Champollion, the impoverished, arrogant and brilliant
child of the French Revolution who made the vital breakthrough in
deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs. This finely illustrated
account charts Champollion's dramatic life and achievements: by
turns a teenage professor, a supporter of Napoleon, an exile, a
fanatical decipherer and a curator at the Louvre, he lived life to
the full but drove himself into an early grave. Andrew Robinson's
full-blooded account brings the man, his setbacks and his ultimate
triumphs vividly to life.
