Osirise silm on uks R. Austin Freemani koige esimestest krimiromaanidest (ilmunud 1911). Moistatust lahendab Freemani meeliskangelane doktor Thorndyke – kohtumeditsiini asjatundja ja elav entsuklopeedia. Moistatus seisneb uhe mehe salaparases kadumises, mis toob esialgu kaasa lihtsalt perekondlikku tuli ja kemplemist. Lugu muutub aga pahaendelisemaks, kui kadunud mehe asemel hakkavad siit-sealt valja ilmuma kellegi kondid. Doktor Thorndyke aimab nii mondagi, kuid aumehena ei suudista kedagi enne, kui on saanud kindlaid toendeid. Nonda tuleb koigil esialgu ise nuputada voi kobada pimeduses, mis naib uha mustem ja hadaohtlikum.

Bojana Mojsov tells the story of the cult of Osiris from beginning to end, sketching its development throughout 3,000 years of Egyptian history. Draws together the numerous records about Osiris from the third millennium B.C. to the Roman conquest of Egypt. Demonstrates that the cult of Osiris was the most popular and enduring of the ancient religions. Shows how the cult provided direct antecedents for many ideas, traits and customs in Christianity, including the concept of the trinity, baptism in the sacred river, and the sacrament of the Eucharist. Reveals the cult’s influence on other western mystical traditions and groups, such as the Alchemists, Rosicrucians and Freemasons. Written for a general, as well as a scholarly audience.
