Classics for All

A most welcomed monograph on the reign of king Tutankhaten/Tutankhamun. It provides both professional and general audiences with up-to-date information, detailed discussions that in some points do not lack Eaton-Krauss's necessary criticism, and well organised chapters. This work challenges deeply-ingrained associations of wealth, mystery and curses with the king by providing readers with a study of his parentage, childhood, accession, architectural and sculptural projects.

As a leading expert on the monuments, texts, and images relating to Tutankhamun, Marianne Eaton-Krauss has provided a fascinating account of the young king's reign that is both engaging and scholarly. Drawing on a wide range of material known only to specialists, the author goes far beyond the endlessly repeated and often sensationalised narratives about the young king and the discovery of his tomb to truly tell the story of the unknown Tutankhamun.
