Sinuhe der Ägypter

In the loneliness of exile, filled with a longing for his home town of Thebes, the Egyptian physician Sinuhe (1390 to 1335 BC) wrote down the history of his eventful life: from childhood in simple circumstances to a career as the personal physician of the Pharaoh and adventurous journeys to all the countries of Asia Minor to his banishment from Egypt. SINUHE's life story is at the same time a colourful cultural and moral history of the Eastern Mediterranean at the time of the pharaohs. "Sinuhe the Egyptian" is the world's best-selling novel from Finland. 70 years after its publication, it was first translated directly from Finnish into German in its entirety.
