این کتاب را نباید بصورت یک داستان خواند
گرچه واقیع آن بسیار جالب و شگفت انگیز است اما مهم تر از ان حقایقی در ان نهفته است که میتواند بینش شما را نسبت له جهان هستی دگرگون کند.
از جمله پیدایش اولین خدای نادیده و چگونگی بوجود آمدن ان ، حماقت مردم ،اغواگری کاهنان و سو استفاده از ح...more

The novel The Egyptian was written back in 1949 by the well known author Mika Walteri. The book is about a physician back in ancient Egypt who travels the world trying to gain knowledge for his profession. During his journey, he meets many people, learns many life lessons, and gets to see other countries of the world.
First, I did feel that the novel had some weaknesses. At some points in the book it was a little bit hard to follow because of the way things were done in ancient times. Since, y...more

"The Egyptian" is Waltari's masterpiece. "The Egyptian" is a reference book on Ancient Egypt, a magical historical novel.
Mika Watari's "The Egyptian" tells us the story of one physician of Ancient Egypt, Sinuhe, set against the background of the reign of the fourth pharaoh Amenhotep, whose attempt to impose monotheism on his polytheistic country was one of the strangest and most fascinating experiments of early civilization.

باید اعتراف کنم که من فقط جلد اول این کتاب را خوانده ام! ولی از همان جلد اول خیلی چیزهای جالبی یاد گرفتم. مثلا اون جراحی که کاسه سر را بر میداند و غده را از روی مغز بر میدارند. آن هم با حضور شخصی که بوی بدش باعث می شود شخص بیمار خون ریزی نداشته باشد.

سینوهه داستان جهالت عوام و سود پرستی و قدرت پرستی اقلیت حاکم بر جوامع است . با اینکه از بدویت دورانی که پزشک مخصوص فرعون حکایت می کند گذر کرده ایم , انگار همان اتفاقات در هر دوران تکرار می شود . نمونه بارزش رویکردکاهنان آن زمان به دین و استفاده از جهل مردم در جهت حفظ منافع خودشان...more

How I wish that all of Waltari's works would be reprinted and easily available! The Egyptian is simply one of the all-time best pieces of historical fiction ever written. If you're a fan of this genre, then grab this author's books. The Etruscan is a bit more mystical, but is an excellent read and Secret of the Kingdom takes a Roman viewpoint of the times leading up to Jesus's death. The Dark Angel is just that - a bit darker than the other novels, but all are chock full of unforgettable charact...more

به خاطر دارم که دو ترجمه متفاوت از این کتاب را خواندم. تر جمه نخست از ذبیح الله منصوری بود که اگر بی انصاف نباشم، بد نبود. زبان ترجمه اش بسیار ساده بود. بیشتر به کتابهای دوره راهنمایی شبیه بود. اما متاسفانه نام مترجم دیگر را به خاطر ندارم. ترجمه دومی که خواندم پیش از انقلاب چاپ شد...more

كتاب تاريخيه خيلي جالبي هستش واقعا آدمي گاه از جهالت خودش حيرت مي كنه برام جالب بود كه ما آدمها از پس اين قرنها و ساليان و نسلها گذشتيم ولي هنوز خيلي نقص داريم، خيلي اشتباه مي كنيم ، من فكر مي كنم مشكل انسانها اينه كه هر كدوم فكر مي كنن خودشون درست ميگن

I actually read this while I was in Egypt and it made the reading experience even richer. The places he describes really excist even Waltari has never been in Egypt. You could call that good background work.
I'm really into ancient Egypt, so how could I not like this? It's a heavy read, but also rewarding. At times I just couldn't put it down, but other times it caused a lots of trouble to concentrate. Either way, I'm glad I read it.

This book (which I listened to in English, not Arabic) follows the life of a doctor in Ancient Egypt. Having not read any other books that took place during this time, and having just returned from visiting several of the places mentioned in the book, I thought it was interesting. Not the most exciting story though -- wouldn't have rated it as high without the connection.
