Cracking the Egyptian Code is the first biography in English of JeanFranois Champollion, the impoverished, arrogant and brilliant child of the French Revolution who made the vital breakthrough in deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphs. This finely illustrated account charts Champollions dramatic life and by turns a teenage professor, a supporter of Napoleon, an exile, a fanatical decipherer and a curator at the Louvre, he lived life to the full but drove himself into an early grave. Andrew Robinsons fullblooded account brings the man, his setbacks and his ultimate triumphs vividly to life.Table of Contents Egyptomania 1. Hieroglyphic Delirium before Champollion 2.
