The Face of Tutankhamun by Christopher Frayling
In a five-part series for the BBC, the author of this book presents the case of King Tut to mark the 70th anniversary of the opening of his tomb. This book uses extracts from the diaries of Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter who led the expeditionary team. The staggering wealth of their discovery, and the legend of the curse of the tomb unleashed a worldwide craze for all things Egyptian, and the style invaded our popular culture, influencing everything from the architecture of cinemas to what we saw on the big screen itself.
Sir Christopher Frayling is Rector and Professor of Cultural History at the Royal College of Art. He is the author of Vampyres, The Face of Tutankhamun, Sergio Leone: Something To Do With Death, and Ken Adam: The Art of Production Design
