In the splendor of his power, Pharaoh Keops orders the construction of a funerary monument that will amaze the world: the great pyramid. However, the threat of the gods looms over the royal family. A magician announces that Keops' successor will not belong to his dynasty, but will be the newborn son of the high priest of Ra. Determined to change fate, Keops orders the death of the creature. But, thanks to his father's precautions, the child manages to escape and will become a threat to the pharaoh.
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".
