Les Mystères D’Osiris #1-4
Les Mystères d'Osiris
Nel cuore del tempio di Abido, un'acacia sta morendo… E insieme a lei, tutto l’Egitto è minacciato. Perché non si tratta di un albero è nato dalla tomba del dio Osiride, per annunciarne la rinascita.
Il grande faraone Sesostri III inizia una lotta contro un nemico invisibile che vuole condurre l’Egitto alla rovina. Un giovane apprendista scriba, Iker, diventa attore involontario di questo mistero. Rapito da alcuni marinai, l’adolescente non sa chi sta tentando di ucciderlo, né tanto meno chi lo protegge. Iker ha la sensazione di essere guidato e manipolato da una forza misteriosa, di avanzare lungo un cammino di cui non conosce la meta...
I misteri di Osiride, oltre a narrare il tormentato percorso del giovane Iker alla ricerca della sua verità, e la lotta di Sesostri III contro le forze del Male, raccontano la storia magica e travolgente di un Egitto che non esiste più e che tuttavia permane nella nostra memoria.
Christian Jacq ci fornisce le chiavi di lettura di una civiltà affascinante e i segreti della sua immutabile realtà.

221 books941 followersAlso writes under the names Célestin Valois, J.B. Livingstone, and Christopher Carter.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book suite about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
Jacq's interest in Egyptology began when he was thirteen, and read History of Ancient Egyptian Civilization by Jacques Pirenne. This inspired him to write his first novel. He first visited Egypt when he was seventeen, went on to study Egyptology and archaeology at the Sorbonne, and is now one of the world's leading Egyptologists.
By the time he was eighteen, he had written eight books. His first commercially successful book was Champollion the Egyptian, published in 1987. As of 2004 he has written over fifty books, including several non-fiction books on the subject of Egyptology.
He and his wife later founded the Ramses Institute, which is dedicated to creating a photographic description of Egypt for the preservation of endangered archaeological sites.
Between 1995-1997, he published his best selling five book suite Ramsès, which is today published in over twenty-five countries. Each volume encompasses one aspect of Ramesses' known historical life, woven into a fictional tapestry of the ancient world for an epic tale of love, life and deceit.
Jacq's series describes a vision of the life of the pharaoh: he has two vile power-hungry siblings, Shanaar, his decadent older brother, and Dolora, his corrupted older sister who married his teacher. In his marital life, he first has Isetnofret (Iset) as a mistress (second Great Wife), meets his true love Nefertari (first Great Wife) and after their death, gets married to Maetnefrure in his old age. Jacq gives Ramesses only three biological children: Kha'emweset, Meritamen (she being the only child of Nefertari, the two others being from Iset) and Merneptah. The other "children" are only young officials trained for government and who are nicknamed "sons of the pharaoh".
