閱讀剋裏斯提昂·賈剋 Christian Jacq在小说之家的作品!!! |
1981年，賈剋以《盛世法老治理下之埃及》論文集獲得法蘭西學院奬，並由此贏得他在埃及學研究界的地位與聲譽。1996年至1997年間，賈剋舉傢遷往法國南方的普羅旺斯，在那裏靜心寫作。《拉美西斯二世》係列使其達到名利巔峰。五年間，拉美西斯係列共賣出了一千一百萬套，全球有三十多種譯本。至今，賈剋以古埃及為背景，已寫就至少二十本小說、十本論集以及六本繪本，成為著名的文壇快筆。
剋裏斯提昂・賈剋博士 1947年生於法國巴黎。畢業於巴爾索爾邦大學，為埃及歷史博士、教授及小說傢。
賈剋謙虛地表示，他不過是一個小說作傢以及研究埃及文明的學者而已。殊不知，他的作品已引爆出一場全球埃及熱潮。以法國為例，賈剋的埃及係列被列為法國年度作品長達七年之久；法國人幾乎是人手一本。法國最具權威性的文學雜志Livre發行人貝納菲剋斯歐就說，法國人平均一年買三本書，而他們把買書的錢都付給了賈剋的埃及係列故事。
由此可見，賈剋營造的埃及世界，果真魅力四射。
十三歲那年，一本有關埃及文明史的書籍正式開啓了賈剋對古文明的熱愛。十七歲第一次造訪埃及，賈剋不但深深愛上這個國度，甚至認為自己有着像是在外漂流數載終歸故裏的感受，也因此造就了賈剋在回法後繼續深造，取得了埃及歷史博士學位。
賈剋幾乎就是為創作而來到這個世界上的。十三歲那年，他完成了第一本著作，十六歲時已有出版社嚮他爭取合作機會；在這期間，他已完成八部小說、多首詩作，還替音樂界寫了一部歌劇。法國文壇甚至認為他的文學地位可與大、小仲馬並駕其驅。
1993年出版的《埃及三部麯》係列，正式奠定了他在文壇的地位。而這三本書至今仍在熱賣中。若說，金庸創造了一個中國通俗小說王朝，讓人人浸在書中，那麽，在法國，創造了一個全世界皆嚮往的埃及世界之人，惟剋裏斯提昂・賈剋莫屬。

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".
