«Akhenaton, el rey hereje» is the historical novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Edhasa in paperback format (192 pages, in Spanish).
In ancient Egypt, the young nobleman Mirimon investigates the figure of Akhenaten, the pharaoh who abolished traditional worship and imposed a monotheistic reform. The testimonies of those who knew him, including Queen Nefertiti, reconstruct the personal and political trajectory of the sovereign who defied the gods and his own destiny.
It belongs to the Pocket collection (no. 146), with a translation from Arabic by Ángel Mestres Valero. Naguib Mahfuz received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
For readers of historical fiction interested in ancient Egypt and the reign of Akhenaten.
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".
