Amelia B. Edwards Boeken

Amelia B. Edwards wrote this historical, egyptological, and cultural study in in 1877, and it became an immediate best-seller, reprinted in 1888 at home in England and abroad. She travelled throughout Egypt at a time when most women didn't leave home. One of the pioneering Egyptologists of the age, she established the Edwards Chair of Egyptology, occupied first by the great Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie. This book is in a sense a seminal work, known to have influenced the modern writings of Elizabeth Peters in her Amelia Peabody Emerson murder-mystery series. (Summary by Sibella Denton)

Tysiąc mil na falach Nilu, najpewniej i w naszym społeczeństwie odegrało istotną rolę w upowszechnianiu wiedzy o dawnym Egipcie, przygotowując grunt pod kolejną falę fascynacji krainą faraonów.. a pośrednio może nawet pod przyszłe sukcesy polskich archeologów nad Nilem.
