Cracking the Egyptian Code: The Revolutionary Life of Jean-Francois Champollion

Cracking the Egyptian Code is the first biography in English of Jean-Franรงois Champollion, the impoverished, arrogant and brilliant child of the French Revolution who made the vital breakthrough in deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs. This finely illustrated account charts Champollion’™s dramatic life and achievements: by turns a teenage professor, a supporter of Napoleon, an exile, a fanatical decipherer and a curator at the Louvre, he lived life to the full but drove himself into an early grave. Andrew Robinson’™s full-blooded account brings the man, his setbacks and his ultimate triumphs vividly to life.
