«Rhadopis. Una cortesana del Antiguo Egipto» is the historical novel by Naguib Mahfuz, published by Edhasa in hardback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In pharaonic Egypt, the courtesan Rhadopis, accustomed to eluding her suitors, falls in love with Pharaoh Mernaré II. The passion between them clashes with the priestly caste, which hatches a conspiracy to overthrow the monarch and turns their story into a threat to the throne.
It belongs to Edhasa's Narrativas Históricas collection and its cover presents it as part of the Egyptian Trilogy. Translated from the Arabic by María Luisa Prieto and Muhammad Al Madkuri.
It will appeal to readers of historical fiction and to followers of Naguib Mahfuz, Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
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".
