Thoth: A Romance is a novel published in 1888 by the American author Joseph Shield Nicholson. The book tells the story of a young man named Thoth who is born into a family of Egyptian priests. Thoth is different from his peers in that he possesses a natural curiosity and desire to learn about the world beyond his own. As he grows up, Thoth becomes increasingly fascinated by science, mathematics, and philosophy, and begins to question the traditional beliefs of his people.Despite his unconventional views, Thoth is respected by his fellow priests and soon becomes a trusted advisor to the Pharaoh. However, his intellectual pursuits eventually bring him into conflict with the powerful priesthood, who view him as a threat to their authority. Thoth is forced to flee for his life, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery that takes him to distant lands and introduces him to new cultures and ideas.Throughout the novel, Thoth grapples with questions of faith, reason, and the nature of existence. He is torn between his love for his people and his desire to pursue knowledge and truth, and must ultimately decide where his loyalties lie. The book is a richly detailed and thought-provoking exploration of ancient Egyptian culture and philosophy, as well as a timeless meditation on the human quest for knowledge and understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
