Having read the books twice, first as a teenager (about 13) and then as an adult (about 25) and having heard the radio play by the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), I have to stick to my guns. The main character is a wimp.
Par amour pour une courtisane, le médecin égyptien Sinouhé s'est vendu comme esclave. Il va vivre une odyssée à mi-chemin des mythes et de la réalité. Médecin, mais aussi espion pour le compte du pharaon Aménophis IV, il ira de Thèbes à Babylone, et aussi chez les mystérieux Hittites et chez les Crétois soumis au Minotaure. Prodigieux roman d'aventures qui nous initie à la politique, à la religion et aux sciences du quatorzième siècle avant Jésus-Christ, le chef-d'oeuvre du grand écrivain finlandais Mika Waltari invite aussi à réfléchir sur l'homme d'aujourd'hui, le plaisir, la liberté, le pouvoir, la violence, l'injustice et tout ce qui fait notre destin.
Describe un viaje por el tiempo al Egipto de los faraones. La narración de la vida errante de un médico nos transporta por todo el mundo conocido catorce siglos antes de Jesucristo: los reinos sirios, la Babilonia decadente, la Creta anterior de la Hélade...La impecable autenticidad de la reconstrucción histórica y la personalidad entrañable de Sinuhé tejen uno de los más bellos y célebres relatos
