Relation In Pursuance Of Books I, the Sun

From palace coups in the lost city of Hattusas to treachery in the Egyptian court of Tutankhamun, I, the Sun, the saga of the Hittite king Suppiluliumas, rings with authenticity and the passion of a world that existed fourteen hundred years before the birth of Christ. They called him Great King, Favorite of the Storm God, the Valiant. He conquered more than forty nations and brought fear and war to the very doorstep of Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt, but he could not conquer the one woman he truly loved.

Article Out Of Books I, the Sun

My interest in the Hittites goes back decades when I first read about them in the Larousse Encyclopedia of Ancient and Medieval History. They were a fascinating culture that, inexplicably, little has been written about, especially given their importance in ancient times. That said, I missed 'I, the Sun when it first appeared in 1983, but rectified that with the release of the updated version.This is an excellent read. Told in the first person, I, the Sun is the story of Hittite king

I had been looking forward to reading this for a while and I was not disappointed. This book is superb!Based on actual events (save one character) this story recounts the life of Suppiluliumas, King of the Hittites, favourite of the Storm God, and empire builder. Told from the perspective of the king himself it is an exciting, moving and in some places heart-rending story of the adolescent and angry prince who survives court intrigue, treachery, heartbreak and war to lead his people to a golden

Before reading this book, I had never heard of the Hittites. Now I have and I also know more of this time in our history than I had ever hoped to know and it's because of this book. Make no mistake, this is no history lesson. It is a magnificent historical novel so well written you can't help but find yourself bang smack in the middle of the action. Highly recommended.

The best historical fiction I read in years, since picking McCullough's "The First Man in Rome", which happened some decades ago, decades that were filled with historical novels aplenty for me. But not like this one! "I, The Sun" left me completely enthralled! It's a fairly long read and I found myself racing through it, eager to know what's next while at the same time trying to prolong the reading - I knew I won't be happy when it'll come to the end, simply because I would love to read more and

An exceptional story brilliantly told. A must for any fan of historical fiction - if you like Michener or Clavell, you'll thoroughly enjoy this story. For the ancient history aficionados, Janet Morris crafts a convincingly real drama of the life of the Hittite King Suppiluliuma (ca. 1344-1322 BC). Cleverly told via first person narrative, the reader is brought into the mind of the king as he deals with the competing demands of empire and family. Add to this the painstaking research that

Review for I, The SunI am not a reader of biographies. I find them boring and dry as they will put me to sleep faster than any other book genre will. I started this one because it was a Janet Morris book. I love Janet, she is one of the early fantasy authors I remember reading as an impressionable teenager. That being said, I have to admit right off the bat to being a bit intimidated by the sheer size of this book. Impressively daunting. Being a novice history lover, I hiked up my pants and

I am a relatively recent convert to the genre of historical drama, although as a fan of fantasy I have frequently delved into works by authors such as Mary Stewart and Manda Scott. The strong element of fantasy in such novels appeals to me more than their historical or pseudo-historical content, yet I nevertheless find myself absorbing historical information as I delve deeper into the characters and plotlines. Such facets are essential for an engrossing read, and they were exactly what I found
