«El egiptólogo» is the historical novel by Christian Jacq, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (364 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows Jean-François Champollion in his attempt to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs, an undertaking that challenges old dogmas and gives voice back to a forgotten civilization. Between the Egypt of the pyramids and European scholarship, the plot combines mystery, a passion for knowledge and the discovery of age-old wisdom.
The original title, «Champollion l'Égyptien», appeared in 1987; this Spanish edition includes the translation by Cristina Rodríguez.
For readers of historical fiction and adventures set in ancient Egypt, with a real, well-documented protagonist.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
