Another Classic Hungarian Comic from Attila Fazekas, translated to ENG... Title: Pharaoh AKA: Year: 1977 Original title: A fáraó Pages: 34 Country: Hungary Language: English scanlation Genre: Comics - history, adaptation Written by: Tibor Cs. Horváth Drawn by: Attila Fazekas Plot / Synopsis: Pharaoh (Polish: Faraon) is the fourth and last major novel by the Polish writer Bolesław Prus (1847–1912).
Composed over a year\'s time in 1894–95, it was the solehistorical novel by an author who had earlier disapproved of historical novels on the ground that they inevitably distort history. Perhaps the chief lesson, belatedly absorbed by Ramses as pharaoh, is the importance, to power, of knowledge. Prus\' vision of the fall of an ancient civilization derives some of its power from the author\'s intimate awareness of the final demise of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, a century before the completion of the novel. Preparatory to writing Pharaoh, Prus immersed himself in ancient Egyptian history, geography, customs, religion, art and writings. In the course of telling his story of power, personality, and the fates of nations, he produced a compelling literary depiction of life at every level of ancient Egyptian society. Further, he offers a vision of mankind as rich as Shakespeare\'s, ranging from the sublime to the quotidian, from the tragic to the comic. The book is written in limpid prose and is imbued with poetry, leavened with humor, graced with moments of transcendent beauty. Pharaoh has been translated into twenty languages and adapted as a 1966 Polish feature film. It is also known to have been Joseph Stalin\'s favourite book.

Hello, thks for your fantastic blog :-) The Pharaoh V1 and V2 are the same though size is different. Be kind to correct and thks again...
ReplyDelete(Another Anonymous): I noticed the same — these aren’t part 1 and 2, these are different versions of the same comic. The file size is different, but the number of pages and even the picture quality is equal. But there is one import other difference — the font.
ReplyDeleteVersion 1.1 uses an old looking font (a crude mixture of Antiqua, Rotunda and Carolingian minuscule) which is difficult to read. Someone replaced the font with a more common handlettered looking font, that’s version 2. I’ll keep this one because I’m pretty sure the ancient Egyptians didn’t use Rotunda.
Ha yes, they are indeed 2 versions. Thks for pointing it out and keep up the great work you do. Cheers... JM4
