| Summary: | Literary Nonfiction. Translated from the French by Brian Evenson. Champollion loved the novels of Fenimore Cooper, in particular The Last of the Mohicans. Macé explores Champollion's twin interests: Egypt and "America's savage nations," his deciphering of the Rosetta stone and the Indians' deciphering of the forest. He finally follows Champollion to the Louvre where he set up the Egyptian galleries and saw Indians of the Osage tribe. |
