A scholarly work that explores the self-presentation of some elite members of late Saite Egypt. This study examines the biographies and statues of two individuals who were principal members of the non-royal aristocracy. The approach integrates images, monuments, and texts with the places, participants and broader historical environment that gives them meaning. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between image and text.
To understand the cultural and political differences that endanger our world, we need to appreciate fundamental national stories. In this unique book, leading writers and scholars from twenty-eight countries give thoughtful, engaging accounts of their own nations history. The countries have been selected to represent every continent and every type of state: large and small; mature democracies and religious autocracies; states that have existed for centuries and those born recently, making up two-thirds of the worlds population. Peter Furtado is the former editor of the internationally renowned magazine 'History Today'. Note: The ebook edition includes the complete text of the printed book with a reduced number of illustrations.
