description: Many important literary texts of ancient Egypt are recreated in translations (by Foster) that are literary rather than literal, conveying the spirit as well as the substance of each text. Included are compositions not readily available elsewhere, such as selections from The Leiden hymns , the conclusion to "The Testament of Amenemhat," and "Menna's Lament."
