THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now; the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new version; made from the hieroglyphs; approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate; they remind us that the natural world; and the substance of our lives; is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance"; Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure; diaphanous verse.
