This account charts Champollion’s dramatic life and achievements: 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 Robinson’s full-blooded account brings the man, his setbacks and his ultimate triumphs vividly to life.","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54014937563476,"sku":"9780500296929","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9358\/6772\/files\/unnamed_bb061069-3535-440c-b138-538e0c217a88.jpg?v=1778850053","url":"https:\/\/shop.creatives-wings.com\/products\/cracking-the-egyptian-code","provider":"CW shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
