The story of Egypt is the story of history itself--the endless rise
and fall, the life and death and life again of the eternal human
effort to endure, enjoy, and understand the mystery of our
universe. Emerging from the ancient mists of time, Egypt met the
challenge of the mystery in a glorious evolution of religious,
intellectual, and political institutions and for two millenniums
flourished with all the vigor that the human heart can invest in a
social and cultural order. Then Egypt began to crumble into the
desert sands and the waters of the Nile, and her remarkable
achievements in civilization became her lingering epitaph. John A.
Wilson has written a rich and interpretive biography of one of the
greatest cultural periods in human experience. He answers--as best
the modern Egyptologist can--the questions inevitably asked
concerning the dissolution of Egypt's glory. Here is scholarship in
its finest form, concerned with the humanity that has preceded us,
and finding in man's past grandeur and failure much meaning for men
of today.
