«The Tutankhamun Affair» is the historical novel by Christian Jacq, published by Pocket Books in paperback (480 pages, in English).
At the beginning of the 20th century, Tutankhamun, a nearly forgotten pharaoh, lies in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings until Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discover it. Christian Jacq recreates the find, the enigma of the young king, and the curse that, according to legend, pursued those involved for decades.
Work originally published in French as «L'affaire Toutankhamon» in 1992; English translation by Geraldine Le Roy. Winner of the Prix Maison de la Presse.
For readers of historical fiction about ancient Egypt and of stories of archaeology, mystery, and curses surrounding Tutankhamun.
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.
