En mi opinión demasiado específico para mis intereses, si lo que buscas es información detallada del ritual de Abidos en el Antiguo Egipto este libro es de cinco estrellas.

[Danko Herrera · Rating 3 out of 5]

this book is a collage of things surrounging the feast of Haker.
there's a mess of texts on the middle of the book and it's sort of tiring to go to the note section every new parragraph. I think it's a good introduction to the feast on Abydos but leaves a lot of information about out.
Very happy with it containing illustrations.

This one does a very good job of explaining the myth in the beginning, including what each character stands for. Then it goes on to give a very complete version of the myth.

This book is so engaging and mind-blowing! Honestly, Jules Cashford did an amazing job in depicting the Gods Isis and Orisis as real people who fell in love only to end in a tragedy. Must read!
