Pharaoh's Broker Being the Very Remarkable Experiences in Another World of Isidor Werner by Ellsworth Douglass is an incredibly captivating and thought-provoking book that takes readers on a mesmerizing journey through time and space.
The story follows the life of Isidor Werner, a talented and ambitious broker in New York City in the 19th century. As he embarks on a seemingly ordinary day, Isidor finds himself inexplicably transported to ancient Egypt, a world vastly different from what he knows. With no apparent explanation, Isidor must navigate this foreign land and find a way to survive.
One of the book's greatest strengths lies in the author's ability to vividly portray both the vibrant cityscape of New York and the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Douglass masterfully crafts detailed, atmospheric descriptions that transport readers to each setting, making them feel as though they are personally experiencing Isidor's journey.

However, it must be noted that the book occasionally delves into complex financial intricacies and stock market jargon. While this may be of interest to some readers, it could potentially deter others. Nevertheless, the overall story remains accessible and enjoyable, even for those less familiar with financial terminology.
