Philosophy & Religion Art, Design & Photography History

The Egyptian Book of the Dead, presented here in a 2019 illustrated hardcover from Arcturus, lets English readers explore ancient Egypt’s most famous funerary text through the classic translation of E.A. Wallis Budge. Wrapped in a sturdy slipcase and running 160 pages, this edition pairs Budge’s authoritative rendering with artwork that brings the spells, gods, and afterlife journeys vividly to life.

Ideal for lovers of mythology, mysticism, and cultural history, the volume straddles the divide between coffee-table art book and serious reference. Young adults and seasoned scholars alike can dip into its pages to discover how Egyptians viewed death, resurrection, and the soul’s perilous voyage toward eternity.

The copy offered is in good, gently-used condition: the boards and slipcase show only light scuffs, while the binding remains tight and every page is clean, free of writing, dog-ears, or tears. It’s ready for immediate reading or display without the worry of hidden flaws.

Whether you’re expanding a folklore library, searching for a thoughtful gift, or curating a spirituality collection, this attractively priced edition of The Egyptian Book of the Dead delivers both visual appeal and enduring scholarly value.
