THE LIVING WISDOM OF ANCIENT EGYPT
by CHRISTIAN JACQ
More relevant
today than ever, CHRISTIAN JACQ’s The Living Wisdom of Ancient Egypt
brings a message of peace and harmony from the most ancient wisdom of the world.
‘He who
understands reality, myths and rituals’ is how the Egyptian sage portrays
himself: he whose entire existence rests on knowledge, and not belief.
Accomplishing what is right, finding virtue in everything, never evading
responsibility, and respecting what is worthy – these are just some of the true
sage’s daily tasks.
It is because
Egyptian civilisation knew how to mould people of this quality that it has
successfully conquered the ravages of time, of barbarism, of hostile invasions
and destruction. Despite the troubles and hardships this people faced, their
underlying wisdom continues even now to shine through, to touch our lives in
many significant ways. And it is undoubtedly this wisdom that is the true
secret and legacy of the Ancient Egyptians.
CHRISTIAN JACQ,
a passionate Egyptologist and the author of the best-selling Ramses series of
novels has selected the finest examples of Egyptian wisdom ranging from the
sayings of famous Pharaohs to anonymous scribes and inscriptions touching on
both everyday and religious matters. This irresistible book invites us to
explore the eternal mysteries of Ancient Egypt, and to discover there the roots
of our own beliefs and the peace and inner harmony we need to face the stresses
of our modern world.
