Roman de la momie

by Theophile Gautier

Le roman suit Lord Evandale, un riche lord anglais, qui découvre une tombe non profanée dans la Vallée des Rois avec son ami scientifique Rumphius. À l'intérieur, ils trouvent une momie et un manuscrit ancien qui raconte l'histoire de Tahoser, une belle jeune fille égyptienne, et sa relation avec Poëri, un Hébreu. Le roman explore les thèmes de l'amour, de la découverte, de la culture égyptienne et des relations interculturelles. L'histoire de Moïse et la fuite des Israélites d'Égypte est également évoquée, ajoutant une dimension historique à l'intrigue.
