One evening, at the foot of the Pyramids, Soliman Khattab reveals a precious ancient manuscript to his friend Guy Rachet: the memoirs of Chafiq, an Arab poet from the 7th century. This story follows the life of Chafiq, the son of a Bedouin chief, who leaves Arabia for Mesopotamia, falls in love with a dancer, and eventually embraces the faith of Islam amidst the religious upheavals of his time. This fascinating work, translated and adapted for the modern reader, offers a captivating immersion into the civilization of the Arab world during the early days of Islam.

Guy Rachet is a French egyptologist historian, archaeologist, novelist and president of the Cercle Ernest Renan. Rachet is the author of numerous works on ancient civilizations in general and Egyptian civilization in particular.
