Welcome to Litsy!

This I definitely a nice introduction to Ancient Egypt, written from an interesting point of view - the one of the population. With general information in boxes and additional pictures it gives the reader a first insight into the culture. This is not a book for a pro though.

Who‘s in charge now?

I like the layout very much, it is interesting and pleasing to the eye. Pictures and background information boxes are added as well.

I bought this series some time ago because someone posted it here on Litsy and I found it intriguing. After being in my Kindle library for over one year now, I finally started it. 🥳🥳🥳

@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

Readable, but not in depth. Does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin.

Reread with IRL club and it was a raucous good time, lots of fodder for laughter and discussion.

Once again struck by the highly relatable themes. Humanity hasn‘t fundamentally changed.

"So all considerations of humanity were swept away by their rage and fury; or was this, rather, a demonstration that no wild beast is more savage than man when his passions are armed with power?"
Plutarch, "Fall of the Roman Republic"

I thought this to be interesting. While I have learned about most of the covered material before, it was interesting seeing how an ancient author wrote on it. It was also interesting seeing Plutarch's commentary on certain issues. Main downside is that this contains half of Plutarch's "Parallel Lives" where he compares a Greek figure with a Roman, then does a summary of the two. As a result, it can be slightly difficult to follow the summaries.
