THE RISE AND FALL OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Book ID/图书代码： 11701210B35229
English Summary/英文概要： In "The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt" Toby Wilkinson, one of the leading Egyptologists of his generation, goes behind the dazzling mask of Ancient Egypt to make the story of one of the world’s greatest (and in terms of longevity, most successful) civilisations accessible to the general reader. From the pharaohs at the apex to the slaves at the base of the pyramids they built, the unifying theme will be the darker side of pharaonic civilisation: the relentless propaganda that infiltrated every aspect of public life, the cut-throat politics that lay behind the mask of unchanging monarchy and the brutality and repression that underpinned royal authority will all be fully examined in this major history that will draw on the latest research, including the author’s own original fieldwork.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 古埃及王朝，作为人类史上最为伟大的文明之一，若从其统治时间的长度来算，也可谓是无出其右者。现在，身为当代埃及考古学界的佼佼者之一，托比.威尔金森将在其编著的《古埃及的沉浮》一书中，透过层层面纱，向读者还原一个真实的埃及法老王朝。
从权利显赫不可一世的法老，到默默搭建埃及金字塔的奴隶，本书主旋律将围绕法老统治时期的阴暗面所展开：渗透灌输于公众生活上，无所不在的舆论宣传；看似平静的王权背后所隐藏的激烈政治争斗；以及为了王室的皇权所采取的压迫和暴行，等等这些，都会透过最新的研究，呈现在读者面前，其中还包括了来自作者第一手的发掘资料。(AW)
