Awakening Osiris

Af: Normandi Ellis Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
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 that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. 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. This edition replaces the previous edition (ISBN 978-0933999749) and contains a new introduction and study guide by the author."Anyone reading this work cannot help but be moved by it.  It comes as close to an appreciation of the themes of the soul''s journey portrayed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead as any modern interpretation has, and with a poetry unmatched anywhere in the literature thus far."--KMT: A Modern Journal of Ancient Egypt
