VINTAGE - Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer [HC,DJ,1983,BookClub Edition]Ancient Evenings is the story of one man's life- or rather, his four lives. Menenhetet, the protagonist and narrator, is, in the course of the novel, reborn three times. His fate takes him from a peasant childhood to become the most intimate advisor to two Pharaohs- one who is powerful, even elemental; the other reflective, indecisive, tortured and charming. Like Homer's Odysseus, Menenhetet is "...a wanderer who has many ways wandered..." and in the course of his four lives he is charioteer, general, harem master, magician, high priest, and grave robber. Like many another historical novel before it, the narrative abounds with intrigue, war, violence and sex, but with one notable difference: these elements are the core of an astonishing penetration into the psychology of these Ancient Egyptians. Set against the seductive beauty and langourous mystery of Egypt, Mailer, out of meticulous research and vaulting imagination, has recreated a world totally alien to ours. Filled with magic, mortals and Gods are frequent and intimate companions, and telepathy is all but commonplace."
