There's also this lethargic/melancholic emotion that dominates throughout the entire story. The writing style is therefore purposefully archaic and relatively simple and that only adds to the immersion factor. So I got up to reading it.Īnd it was glorious! The story consists of the biography of Sinuhe, a fictional character, based on a real persona in a later Egyptian timeline, and he describes his entire life throughout the reign of six pharaohs (all real historical figures naturally). Recently I stumbled across Sinuhe the Egyptian, a historical fiction novel, and my father backed the book up by claiming this was his favorite novel, when he was my age. Let me start off with the fact that I'm a huge ancient history and ancient mythology nerd, I've read countless pieces on the greek mythology, ancient egyptian culture and customs etc. I'm going to try and be as quick and short as possible and I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing, so I apologize, if I don't give the book enough credit/give it too much credit.
