Although the original edition of Montet's book goes back to the '50, I consider that it still holds good for anyone interested in getting a deep insight of everyday life in Pharaonic Egypt under the reign of Ramesses Ii, especially now that the greatest king of Egypt jumped back to popularity after the amazing discovery of tomb KV 5 in Valley of the Kings. This title is well-organized and better written by the hand of one of the most notable French Egyptologists, so that you will not be disapointed. Informative and highly readable, it contains a lot of records from the most varied sources. Highly recommendable.

Here we have another very readable book about everyday life in the former historical periods. Book series about the daily life of people in past should be recommended to everyone, who wants to know what history really is and feel it. This well-written book helps the reader in understanding the people from the past better.

Texts are very interseting and helpful BUT the pictures are very poor quality.If you search for a book with colorful pictures about Egypt forget this book for ever.
