Isis, the priestess of the ancestral cult of Osiris, is the superior of a community with a difficult mission: to resist the advance of Christianity. In Philae: The Last Pagan Temple, writer Christian Jacq—the world's most renowned author of Egyptology fiction—narrates the difficulties faced by the Egyptian people in maintaining their traditions and customs in the face of a new religion that uses violence, persecution, exile, and destruction. The book tells the fictionalized story of the last temple of Egyptian wisdom to fall into the ambitious and cruel hands of Christianity. How to resist so much adversity? Only the temple of Philae seems to have found the answer. Relying on the vigor of youth and the wisdom of the great mysteries, Isis refuses to accept the destruction of everything that constituted her life. But the challenges would not be easy: the Church would impose hunger on her and attempt to seize her community's territory; Philae's faithful would be dejected and discouraged. Even so, the superior did not lose her faith. And with the help of Sabni, to whom she was bound by an eternal love, she managed to regain the trust of the followers of the Ancient Mysteries and thus rally forces against everything and everyone that threatened the temple's survival. Philae is a novel that celebrates the resilience of this pagan temple, an eternal survivor and pillar of Ancient Egyptian culture.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159483760892,"sku":"9788528613452","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a72e2497acf0f44cc61eac3abb3d794b_4c9ed00d-c7b5-4b22-99eb-d6599507e04e.jpg?v=1778321244"},{"product_id":"caca-ao-homem-vol-1-a-vinganca-dos-deuses","title":"Manhunt (Vol. 1 The Revenge of the Gods)","description":"AN ADDICTIVE SUSPENSE.
