Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the phenomenon of "Egyptomania," this study delves into the West's fascination with Ancient Egypt, especially after the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922. It examines how "Tutmania" permeated various aspects of culture, including fashion, decor, music, and notably film. By tracing the origins of 20th-century cinema's obsession with Ancient Egypt, the book connects recurring themes and ideas to the historical context of the land of the Pharaohs, offering insights into the enduring allure of this ancient civilization.
