«Description of Egypt» is the historical essay by Gilles Néret, published by Taschen in paperback (192 pages, in English, French and German).
After Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798, «Description de L'Egypte» was published, a ten-volume work. This book recovers its most notable pages, the same ones that revealed to Europe the great discoveries of Egyptian civilisation, such as the Rosetta Stone and the Valley of the Kings.
Part of Taschen's Icons series; it is a multilingual and illustrated edition, published in 2001.
Recommended for enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian history and illustrated cultural popularisation editions.
Gilles Néret was a French art historian and publisher.
