Originally hailing from Zambia, Wilbur Smith was born in 1933 and to kindle the flame of the writer with in him, he set out to pursue his higher education in South Africa which is by far the most well developed country in the African Continent.
The first book in the series was published all the way back in 1994 marking the dawn of a new era in the life of Wilbur Smith and his followers. This series, spanning a total of 6 novels with the sixth titled “Pharaoh” set to release this year in October. Wilbur has masterfully done both the things that Benjamin said in this quote – He wrote something really worth reading and also wrote it on the historical figures who did a lot that was worth writing! His “Egyptian” series is one of his more recent works considering that he has been a professional writer since 1964.
We may never know whether Wilbur Smith took this quotation to heart and used it as the inspiration behind his series about Egypt. This famous quote is of Benjamin Franklin who rose to power in the U.S between the years 1785 to 1788. “Either write something worth reading or something worth writing”.
