By Naguib Mahfouz
Years after the death of Akhenaten, a young man travels up the Nile collecting testimony about the pharaoh who abolished the old gods, moved the capital, and was erased from the record after his death.
Fourteen witnesses speak: priests, soldiers, the queen Nefertiti, each contradicting the last, and none of them disinterested. Mahfouz never lets the reader settle on whether Akhenaten was a visionary or a disaster.
First published in Arabic in 1985
