The Egyptian is written by Mika Waltari 1945.

The book was a bestseller after the WW2 and is translated to no less than 40 languages.

It's a agile story about a doctor who lived some 3800 years ago in Egypt.

Rejoice and learn about man.

Maybe you could get an Audio Book version for your IPod...

The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision
and strengthens our most fatal tendency--
the belief that the here and now is all there is.

I read a lot, mostly educational books but also these novels.

This one is hot and different and gives something to think about!

Need to comment above:
If you can't be good, be careful.
If you are not smart, read more.

""The Egyptian" is a 1954 epic film made in Cinemascope by 20th Century Fox,
directed by Michael Curtiz and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck."

But you'll miss the reading pleasure and the learning experience.
You really need to experience the world (your life) more vast.
