We're off to Ancient Egypt for the next work on the Books of All Time reading list: The Tale of Sinuhe (c. 1875 BCE). It's a story about a royal advisor who runs away from Egypt after learning that the pharaoh has been assassinated, then creates a new life in another country. Host Rose Judson walks you through the plot, then muses on what it's like to be an immigrant, even in a country where you more or less speak the language. Transcript and additional reading available at our website!
