{"product_id":"2940016495163","title":"An Egyptian Princess : Volume 7 (Illustrated)","description":"• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 18 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.\u003cbr\u003e• “Considering our scanty knowledge of the domestic life of the Greeks and Persians before the Persian war—of Egyptian manners we know more—even the most severe scholar could scarcely dispense with the assistance of his imagination, when attempting to describe private life among the civilized nations of the sixth century before Christ. He would however escape all danger of those anachronisms to which the author of such a work as I have undertaken must be hopelessly liable. With attention and industry, errors of an external character may be avoided, but if I had chosen to hold myself free from all consideration of the times in which I and my readers have come into the world, and the modes of thought at present existing among us, and had attempted to depict nothing but the purely ancient characteristics of the men and their times, I should have become unintelligible to many of my readers, uninteresting to all, and have entirely failed in my original object. My characters will therefore look like Persians, Egyptians, \u0026amp;c., but in their language, even more than in their actions, the German narrator will be perceptible, not always superior to the sentimentality of his day, but a native of the world in the nineteenth century after the appearance of that heavenly Master, whose teaching left so deep an impression on human thought and feeling.”","brand":"Five Star Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182401601776,"sku":"2940016495163","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016495163_p0.jpg?v=1763636538","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016495163","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
