Teb

by Jorge Ángel Livraga Rizzi, İnci Kut (Çevirmen), Ferim Örücü (düzelti)

Kniha poskytuje velkolepý a hluboký obraz starodávného Egypta prostřednictvím jednoho z hlavních náboženských a kulturních center - města Théby. V rámci hranic vytvořených naší nevědomostí a dobou, v níž je nám dáno žít, se autor pokusil poskytnout trpělivému čtenáři řadu pohledů na bájné město, které Řekové nazývali Théby. Téma je však také využito k hledání kořenů a v rámci komentářů nutně přesahuje zeměpisný okruh města a rozšiřuje se na celý Egypt, dokonce i na jeho možný atlantský původ. Mnohé věci uvedené v knize se nutně střetnou s obecně známými názory, najdou odezvu u mnoha lidí a umožní jim pozměnit si představu o starém Egyptě, již získávali od dětství.

You should know before reading who Prof. Livraga was and that this book would not attempt a purely "scientific" approach to ancient Egypt. As I did know and sought it out for that reason, I really enjoyed this book. The author takes us to Thebes with the amazement and humility of a child facing wonder. While giving historical background information, he focuses on the spiritual and mysterious aspects of life in ancient Egypt: findings that might indicate layers of life, death and meaning that our ancestors east of the Nile were aware of. If one shares a fascination with ancient Thebes as well as (Egyptian) philosophy and is open to plausible, non-scientific observations connecting history with mythology and spirituality, this is a worthwhile read.

Knížka je skvělá a i přesto, že spíše rozebírá základní informace, které jsou občas zastaralé, tak si myslím, že si zaslouží místo v knihovně každého milovníka Egypta. Škoda jen, že se knížka nezabírá pouze Thébami a spíše je to soubor náhodných informací - např. dynastie faraónů, rozložení chrámů, muzea vs. vykradači hrobů atd.
