In Akhenaten, Dweller in Truth, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz tells with remarkable insight the story of the 'heretic' pharaoh whose iconoclastic and controversial career has such resonance with modern sensibilities. Years after the king's death, a young man with a passion for the truth questions the pharaoh's contemporaries–including his closest friends, his bitterest enemies, and his enigmatic wife Nefertiti–in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten's court. As they each report their version of events, Mahfouz allows his readers to decide for themselves the truth about Akhenaten. Publisher: American University in Cairo Press. Author: Naguib Mahfuz.
