The novel recreates Jean-François Champollion's journey through Egypt between 1828 and 1829. The French scholar, who deciphered the key to hieroglyphs, wants to verify his discovery on the ground while facing conspirators, antiquities traffickers, and death threats along the Nile.
Originally published in 1987 as «Champollion l'Égyptien»; the 1999 Spanish edition includes a translation by Cristina Rodríguez.
For readers of historical and adventure novels set in ancient Egypt.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
