Sinossi
Un tempo era Ramses il Grande, faraone d'Egitto, potente, temuto e sicuro che il mondo lo avrebbe ricordato... Ora è Ramses il Dannato, vivo dopo la morte e costretto a vagare nei secoli per placare una sete che non può essere placata' A riportarlo ancora una volta tra i vivi, nella Londra edoardiana ricca e decadente, è l'egittologo Lawrence Stratford che, dopo anni di ricerche, ne riesce a violare la tomba, scoprendo anche, accanto alla mummia del faraone, un misterioso busto di Cleopatra, vissuta almeno mille anni dopo. Affascinato dall'enigma, lo studioso interroga allora antichi papiri che gli narrano una vicenda straordinaria e inquietante: grazie a un elisir, Ramses ha ottenuto l'immortalità, e ha attraversato nel tempo, viaggiando, lottando, amando'

Recensioni
Now a novel which includes Cleopatra (VII) and Ramses II, the greatest pharaoh in history has a certain amount of intrinsic interest, especially the Egyptian queen ( with little native blood, almost all Greek) when she plays one of the evil ones. Not a beauty as portrayed in films but attractive, in Leggi tutto
I give you the book the movie The Mummy was SUPPOSED to be based off of. In the end they butchered the story so much Anne Rice wouldn’t put her name on it. Which is a shame, because this book is (if not better) sexier than the movie. A lot of reviews call it “vintage Anne Rice” and I couldn’t agree m Leggi tutto
Actual rating is 3.5 stars. This is the beginning of a trilogy. In this one a mummy is unearthed from its tomb. The mummy is not dead as it is revived when it is exposed to the sun. This mummy is new to the modern world and is adapting to it while he falls in love. I enjoyed this book but I wasn't com Leggi tutto
Loved this book...couldn't put it down once I started it. I really wish she would have done a series out of this story.
I read a lot of Anne Rice in my late teens. I think I was hoping for another Lestat ( https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... ) somewhere in her cannon, but alas, there is only one! “The Mummy” interested me because it reminded me of those super-cheesy B-horror movies à la Hammer, but with sex (I was Leggi tutto
A mummy re-awakened in Edwardian London ... what's not to love?! Well ... First things first, what is this book about? An archaeologist uncovers a tomb that contains none other than Ramses the Great - or Ramses the Damned, depending on which source you believe. This shouldn't be possible, except that Leggi tutto
La vida e historia de Ramsés el faraón mezclada con ficción, tintes oscuros y fantasía de una manera en que solo Anne puede hacerlo, muy creativa y super rápida de leer, un vistazo al antiguo Egipto con un esplendor y decadencia abrumadoras.
“When we are weary, we speak lovingly of dreams as if they embodied our true desires” Spoilers...duh Right now, I’m letting out a loud groan. That is all I really can do thinking about this book. Well, I could give you a very impressive eye roll as well. Or I pull out some of my hair. This was act Leggi tutto
I was stuck in a library waiting and had nothing to read. I picked this up thinking 'Ancient Egypt, the undead, how can it be bad?' without looking at the author. After first few pages I checked. Oh dear. I really do not like Anne Rice. It was in reading this book for a few hours stuck in a library and Leggi tutto
