This is the story of Moses and of the Hebrews in Egypt during the reign of Ramesses II, but in Lester's telling, history has been humanized, icons made flesh. Through a stunning blend of imagination and research, readers are transported into ancient Egypt, vividly evoked through a narrative that seems to reflect ancient discourse without sounding artificial. Bib., glos.
