5.0 out of 5 stars
Magic and intrigue in a gripping tale,
By mckevitt@indy1.calarts.edu (Valencia, California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ramses: Under the Western Acacia (Ramses Under the Western ACACIA, Vol. 5) (Paperback)
The entire "Ramses" series is a tale of not only the often misrepresented pharaoh but of daily Egyptian life. How can it be defined? It's historical, suspenseful, love story with a role model as it's root, it's cornerstone. The role of the pharaoh is displayed honestly in how he is not his own person, he is Egypt and Egypt is Ramses. His goal in life is not his own glory, but that of his country, his soul. Simply a must read. But be warned, once hooked, Egyptology and the passion for knowledge of it will be in your blood like the Nile and it will flood, always.

Ramses II was one the greatest pharaohs in ancient Egypt,
By
This review is from: Ramses: Under the Western Acacia (Ramses Under the Western ACACIA, Vol. 5) (Paperback)
I have read this book first in French and then in English, and I absolutely love it. The translation is very good because it captures the senses of the original. The life of Ramses II is not what people usually expect, and it explains a lot about his relationship with Moses. This book can be read by all ages, and I strongly recommend it! You will love the other 4 volumes as well.

Finale to a magnificent story,
By Zoe (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ramses: Under the Western Acacia (Ramses Under the Western ACACIA, Vol. 5) (Paperback)
Having always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt, I was delighted to discover this series of books, which I devoured quickly. They give a good feeling of how strongly their religious beliefs influenced their day to day lives and also a sense of what life was like for the egyptians, although artistic license has been used to make up for lost facts. I like the writing style for the most part, but it did at times become repititive, possibly something has been lost in the translation from French into English. All in all, I haven't enjoyed a series of books like this for years, and it is certainly worth a read, especially if you are interested in this period.
