About this ebook
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate--they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance", Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5good read !
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a very poetic rendering of what was intended to be a book of spells to help the deceased pass through the afterlife tests to achieve immortality at his final judgement.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A beautiful piece of creative writing, but calling it a translation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead is somewhat misleading.
