'A sophisticated and complete account of the world's first nation state' (The Times Books of the Year)
'Wilkinson's stirring and clear sighted account of the ancient world's most enduring civilisation comes as a welcome treat' (Sunday Times Books of the Year)
'I had always presumed, before I read Wilkinson's book, that it was impossible to write a history of Egypt which combined scholarship, accessibility, and a genuine sense of revelation. I was wrong' (Observer)
'A comprehensive, illustrated history focusing on the dark side of the Pharaohs and some harsh political realities' (The List)
This is a story studded with extraordinary achievements and historic moments, from the building of the pyramids and the conquest of Nubia, through Akhenaten's religious revolution, the power and beauty of Nefertiti, the glory of Tutankhamun's burial chamber, and the ruthlessness of Ramesses, to Alexander the Great's invasion, and Cleopatra's fatal entanglement with Rome.
As the world's first nation-state, the history of Ancient Egypt is above all the story of the attempt to unite a disparate realm and defend it against hostile forces from within and without. Combining grand narrative sweep with detailed knowledge of hieroglyphs and the iconography of power, Toby Wilkinson reveals Ancient Egypt in all its complexity.
