The Literature of the Ancient Egyptians
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA survey from 1914 of what the Egyptians wrote: hymns, tales, wisdom, love songs and letters, with long passages in translation. It is a good map of a literature more than four thousand years old. Some of Budge’s views have dated, but the texts he chose have not.
