Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt by Barbara Mertz
Summary: Internationally
renowned Egyptologist Barbara Mertz transports us back thousands of years and
immerses us in the sights and sounds of day-to-day life in a vanished desert
culture.
Displaying the unparalleled descriptive power, unerring eye for detail, keen insight, and trenchant wit that have made the novels she writes (as Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels) perennial New York Times best-sellers, Barbara Mertz brings a buried civilization to vivid life, taking us closer than ever before to the people of a great lost culture so different from—yet so surprisingly similar to—our own.
Angie’s comments: This is a lively,
engaging and opinionated view on the lives of ancient Egyptians. This is a
republished version that was originally written several decades ago. Lots of
information, but the writing is clear and it is fun to read.
Recommended for
anyone interested in ancient Egypt.
