​The Throne of Osiris

(A tale of Ancient Egypt)

Picture
By Bolesław Prus
Translated by P. Ursyn Meissner

"Written in the late 1800s about a world three thousand years ago,
replete with parallels to the world of today, the tale outlives time,
​reminding us that the present is not free of the past,
​and that vestiges of ancient cultures live on."

About the Author & Translator

​Bolesław Prus (1847-1912) was the Polish novelist who penned the original work under the title, The Pharaoh. It is an allegory of a reality that Prus was not free to write about due to censorship at the time. In the story, he managed to couch the plight of his native Poland in the 1800s.

Peter Meissner, the translator of The Throne of Osiris, lives in Ontario, Canada.
