Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt was one of the first women to rise to the top in the field of Egyptology. Working for the French Resistance during WWII, she was also instrumental in saving many of the treasures housed at the Louvre in Paris. When the famed temple of Abu Simbel became threatened with destruction by the development of the Aswan Dam, Christiane leapt into action became the driving force to save this precious monument.
The book is fascinating. From page one, you find yourself absolutely immersed in the subject. It's never boring. Another major player in the story of saving Egyptian heritage sites was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and this is fully explored within the pages of the book. Christiane's story is one that deserves to be told. Thanks to the richness of this book, it has been.
Highly recommended.… (más)
