«La maldición de Ra» is the historical novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Edhasa in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place during the reign of Khufu, in the midst of the construction of the Great Pyramid. The pharaoh's court is shaken by a serious crisis, and the solution Khufu proposes involves ending the life of a baby. Mahfuz recreates the palace life of the 4th Dynasty and the atmosphere of ancient Egypt.
