Description

Now available in paperback, Egyptomania takes us on a historical journey to unearth the Egypt of the imagination, a land of strange gods, mysterious magic, secret knowledge, monumental pyramids, enigmatic sphinxes and immense wealth.

Egypt has always exerted a powerful attraction on the Western mind, and an array of figures have been drawn to the idea of Egypt.

Even the practical-minded Napoleon dreamed of Egyptian glory and helped open the antique land to explorers. Ronald H. Fritze goes beyond art and architecture to reveal Egyptomania's impact on religion, philosophy, historical study, literature, travel, science and popular culture.

All those who remain captivated by the ongoing phenomenon of Egyptomania will revel in the mysteries uncovered in this book.
