«El templo del rey Salomón» is the historical novel by Christian Jacq, published by Martínez Roca in paperback (298 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 980 BC, it tells of King Solomon's determination to erect in Jerusalem a temple to house the Ark of the Covenant and rival the pyramids of Egypt. To this end he turns to the master stonemason Hiram, with whom he shares a complex friendship marked by a clash of cultures and by their shared love for the Queen of Sheba.
The paperback edition was published in 1997 and belongs to the Selección Oro collection. Translated by Manuel Serrat Crespo; the original, «Maître Hiram et le Roi Salomon», dates from 1989.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in the biblical world, ancient Egypt and the civilisations of the Mediterranean.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
