Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt: Egyptian Mythology for Kids

Very detailed information

Good quality

Como a la mayoría, lo que más me llamó la atención de este libro fueron las ilustraciones, que desde luego son preciosas, pero me ha sorprendido gratamente la cantidad de información que contienen los capítulos dedicados a cada dios. Aunque se trate de un libro para niños, lo cierto es que puede utilizarse perfectamente como manual rápido de mitología egipcia, ya que trata los principales mitos con rigor y ofrece una visión general de las creencias religiosas del Antiguo Egipto de lo más accesible.Una pequeña maravilla. Cierto que el papel podría ser de un gramaje superior, pero este detalle ni por asomo le resta puntos. Disfrutable al máximo.

The illustrations in this book is what made me want to buy it, they're so beautiful and make the Egyptian gods appear properly cosmic. I also like that they weren't made in a fake Egyptian style, which again makes them look timeless.The stories are well written, simple and to the point (it is for kids after all), but with quite a lot of depth in there. You can see that they were written by someone that knows and loves Egyptian history and mythology.As with all mythologies at times they can be confusing and strange (like some divinities are siblings and also married, sometimes even son and husband), but that's mythology for you. They're not supposed to be normal humans, and I'm glad the writer didn't rewrite those "weird" bits.And by the way, I didn't buy the book for kids, and bought it for myself, and I love it :)

Fortemente Consigliato da mio figlio che dice essere un libro completo e pieno di spunti per approfondire e disegni suggestivi.
