«Pharao» is the historical novel by Pauline Gedge, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (574 pages, in German).
The novel portrays the decline of the court of the pharaohs of the Eighteenth Dynasty, focusing on Akhenaten and his attempt to impose monotheism. Palace intrigues, the relocation of the capital, and the isolation of the divine rulers bring the empire to the brink of collapse, in an atmosphere marked by the Nile and Egyptian rituals.
