Taking as a background two notorious travelogues (Sinuhe and Wenamun) from pharaonic Egypt, this book promises to stir the debate on ancient Egyptian literary fiction. Following an analysis of traditional Egyptological criticism, the author outlines a theoretical framework. Context is being given in part two of the work and in his final chapter Gerald Moers acts as the reader's guide through a fresh re-read of ancient Egyptian travel literature. Fingierte Welten thus offers a historically expanded perspective on fictionality.
