This historical novel is set in ancient Egypt, offering a detailed look at the landscape and culture of the era. The language used is nineteenth century Dutch, which can be challenging due to its formal tone, descriptive vocabulary, and long, complex sentence structures. Readers will encounter many nature descriptions and historical references that require patience. It is a good choice for those who want to practice reading literary prose and expand their vocabulary beyond modern, everyday Dutch conversation.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 16 h 28 min at a native pace, spread over 33 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
