阅读克里斯提昂·贾克 Christian Jacq在小说之家的作品!!! |
1981年，贾克以《盛世法老治理下之埃及》论文集获得法兰西学院奖，并由此赢得他在埃及学研究界的地位与声誉。1996年至1997年间，贾克举家迁往法国南方的普罗旺斯，在那里静心写作。《拉美西斯二世》系列使其达到名利巅峰。五年间，拉美西斯系列共卖出了一千一百万套，全球有三十多种译本。至今，贾克以古埃及为背景，已写就至少二十本小说、十本论集以及六本绘本，成为著名的文坛快笔。
克里斯提昂・贾克博士 1947年生于法国巴黎。毕业于巴尔索尔邦大学，为埃及历史博士、教授及小说家。
贾克谦虚地表示，他不过是一个小说作家以及研究埃及文明的学者而已。殊不知，他的作品已引爆出一场全球埃及热潮。以法国为例，贾克的埃及系列被列为法国年度作品长达七年之久；法国人几乎是人手一本。法国最具权威性的文学杂志Livre发行人贝纳菲克斯欧就说，法国人平均一年买三本书，而他们把买书的钱都付给了贾克的埃及系列故事。
由此可见，贾克营造的埃及世界，果真魅力四射。
十三岁那年，一本有关埃及文明史的书籍正式开启了贾克对古文明的热爱。十七岁第一次造访埃及，贾克不但深深爱上这个国度，甚至认为自己有着像是在外漂流数载终归故里的感受，也因此造就了贾克在回法后继续深造，取得了埃及历史博士学位。
贾克几乎就是为创作而来到这个世界上的。十三岁那年，他完成了第一本著作，十六岁时已有出版社向他争取合作机会；在这期间，他已完成八部小说、多首诗作，还替音乐界写了一部歌剧。法国文坛甚至认为他的文学地位可与大、小仲马并驾其驱。
1993年出版的《埃及三部曲》系列，正式奠定了他在文坛的地位。而这三本书至今仍在热卖中。若说，金庸创造了一个中国通俗小说王朝，让人人浸在书中，那么，在法国，创造了一个全世界皆向往的埃及世界之人，惟克里斯提昂・贾克莫属。

Born in Paris, Jacq's interest in Egyptology began when he was thirteen, and read History of Ancient Egyptian Civilization by Jacques Pirenne. This inspired him to write his first novel. By the time he was eighteen, he had written eight books. His first commercially successful book was Champollion the Egyptian, published in 1987. As of 2004, he has written over fifty books, including several non-fiction books on the subject of Egyptology.
Jacq has a doctorate in Egyptian Studies from the Sorbonne. He and his wife later founded the Ramses Institute, which is dedicated to creating a photographic description of Egypt for the preservation of endangered archaeological sites.
Between 1995-1997, he published his best selling five book suite Ramsès, which is today published in over twenty-five countries. Each volume encompasses one aspect of Ramesses' known historical life, woven into a fictional tapestry of the ancient world for an epic tale of love, life and deceit.
Jacq's series describes a vision of the life of the pharaoh: he has two vile power-hungry siblings, Shanaar, his decadent older brother, and Dolora, his corrupted older sister who married his teacher. In his marital life, he first has Isetnofret (Iset) as a mistress (second Great Wife), meets his true love Nefertari (first Great Wife) and after their death, gets married to Maetnefrure in his old age. Jacq gives Ramesses only three biological children: Kha'emweset, Meritamen (she being the only child of Nefertari, the two others being from Iset) and Merneptah. The other "children" are only young officials trained for government and who are nicknamed "sons of the pharaoh".
