The Egyptian

1945 novel by Finnish author Mika Waltari

The Egyptian (Sinuhe egyptiläinen, Sinuhe the Egyptian) is a historical novel by Mika Waltari. It was first published in Finnish in 1945, and in an abridged English translation by Naomi Walford in 1949, from Swedish rather than Finnish. Regarded as "one of the greatest books in Finnish literary history", it is one of the most-translated Finnish works of literature, and is, so far, the only Finnish novel to be adapted into a Hollywood film, which happened in 1954.
