«Akhenatón» is the historical novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Diario El País in paperback (174 pages, in Spanish).
Through the interviews of young Miri-Mon, who travels to Panopolis, the novel reconstructs the life of the so-called heretic king. The voices of those close to him, including Nefertiti, portray a man who defied the religious and political traditions of his time, in a polyphonic tale about power, faith, and ancient Egypt.
Novel by Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfuz, originally published in 1985 and part of El País's historical fiction collection.
Naguib Mahfouz Abdelaziz Ibrahim Ahmed Al-Basha was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature. In awarding the prize, the Swedish Academy described him as a writer "who, through works rich in nuance – now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous – has formed an Egyptian narrative art that applies to all mankind".
