The Teacher of Cheops by Albert Salvadó
4.0
#readtheworld Andorra
I'm admittedly a sucker for Egyptology and this was a nice, easy read. Set in Ancient Egypt at the time of the creation of the Great Pyramids, The Teacher of Cheops follows the story of Sedum, from his conception as a slave through his life as an accountant and teacher. Sedum's nemesis is that of the high priest and vizier to the Pharoah, Ramosi. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, Ramosi is basically the Egyptian version of Little Finger, playing the long game and manipulating everyone for his own benefit.
Sedum proves himself to be a worthy opponent of Ramosi, through sheer intellect and humility. I enjoyed the little prologue that ties Sedum to the Greek philosophers.
Was this the best written book? No, but it was enjoyable and had some nice little twists and turns.
