Osiris, Horus, Isis, Thoth, Anubis—these captivating figures of the Egyptian pantheon have long intrigued scholars and enthusiasts alike. In this comprehensive study, renowned Egyptologist Erik Hornung delves into the ancient Egyptians' understanding of their gods, drawing from a meticulous reappraisal of primary sources. This work, now available in English for the first time, represents the most thorough exploration of Egyptian religion to date. Hornung investigates the characteristics, roles, and significance of the gods and goddesses, while also analyzing the evolving iconography that depicts them. He addresses the complex and often contradictory elements of their faith, seeking to answer two fundamental questions: How did the Egyptians perceive their deities? Did they believe in an impersonal force behind their diverse pantheon? Throughout the text, Hornung captures the intricate and rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian religion and worldview, which stands in stark contrast to contemporary perspectives. This distinguished work will resonate with anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt, religion, and the history of belief systems, as well as students and scholars in fields such as history, anthropology, and archaeology. Translated by John Baines and enhanced for an English-speaking audience, this edition includes a new preface by the author.

Tato kniha pojednává zcela novým způsobem o starém tématu - starověkém Egyptě. Dosud nikdy nebylo toto téma představeno formou kulturního atlasu, jenž přináší nejen mnoho historických a topografických map, ale také erudovaný text, ve kterém se dvěma významným egyptologům podařilo obsáhnout kulturu - chápanou v širokém smyslu - této staré civilizace.
