From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and author of the Cairo Trilogy, comes Akhenaten, a fascinating work of fiction about the most infamous pharaoh of ancient Egypt. In this beguiling  novel, originally published in Arabic in 1985, Mahfouz tells with extraordinary insight the story of the "heretic pharaoh," or "sun king,"--the first known monotheistic ruler--whose iconoclastic and controversial reign during the 18th Dynasty (1540-1307 B.C.) has uncanny resonance with modern sensibilities.  Narrating the novel is a young man with a passion for the truth, who questions the pharaoh's contemporaries after his horrible death--including Akhenaten's closest friends, his most bitter enemies, and finally his enigmatic wife, Nefertiti--in an effort to discover what really happened in those strange, dark days at Akhenaten's court. As our narrator and each of the subjects he interviews contribute their version of Akhenaten, "the truth" becomes increasingly evanescent.  Akhenaten encompasses all of the contradictions his subjects see in him: at once cruel and empathic, feminine and barbaric, mad and divinely inspired, his character, as Mahfouz imagines him, is eerily modern, and fascinatingly ethereal.  An ambitious and exceptionally lucid and accessible book, Akhenaten is a work only Mahfouz could render so elegantly, so irresistibly.… (altro)

OK but hard to deal with. Several conflicting accounts. ( )

This is the story of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten, related to a young man by each person who was close to, or who served, the pharaoh. I couldn't help but be reminded of the current state of American politics. Everyone tells a different story. Every single person had a differing opinion on Akhenaten. So, who do you believe? The one consistent thread among all was that he had a strange appearance and that his faith in the One God was unwavering.

I would really like to read other books by Mahfouz, as I'm thinking this probably isn't his best. I mean, it was interesting enough, but the many points of view relating the story made character development difficult...and I'm a big fan of character development. I'm not saying I disliked the book immensely, but I have read other historical novels about various ancient Egyptian royalty and found them much more interesting.

That being said, historical fiction always leaves me wishing I could travel back and find out the real story. A fly on the wall, so to speak. As Akhenaten's life is somewhat of a mystery compared to other pharaohs (due to his name, etc. being obliterated because he was judged a heretic), I especially wish I could learn the truth about him.

"الخير لا ينهزم، والشر لا ينتصر، ولكننا لا نشهد من الزمان إلا اللحظة العابرة ، والعجز والموت يحولان بيننا وبين رؤية الحقيقة"
حين قرأت تاريخ مصر القديمة في كتاب قصة الحضارة : الشرق الأدني
دفعني الفضول للبحث عن أي رواية أو مسرحية تتحدث عن الفترة التي تحيط بحكم اخناتون
لما رأيت في الكتاب - ولو أنه ذكر علي شيء من الإختصار - من تغيير جذري في العقائد وثورة علي التقاليد والكهنة وكذلك أنماط الفن السائدة وقتها
طريقة السرد في هذه الرواية كانت عبقرية حيث يتحدث كل من كان قريبا من اخناتون من وجهة نظره الخاصة وتظهر لك كم التناقض الشديد بين أفعال البعض وقلوبهم
وبين نظرتنا للشخصيات ومبررات كل شخصية لتصرفاتها
ويتجلي لك أن كتابة التاريخ علي يد شخص غير محايد أو أمين تظلم الكثير من الشخوص والفترات وتنشر الكثير من الأكاذيب لمجرد أن الكاتب يميل بأهوائه
لعل أي حامل لرسالة ما وخصوصا إذا كان يحمل الحقيقة سيتعرض للاستنكار الشديد والحرب الشعواء من المستفيدين من الحالة التي كانت سائدة
ولعل ما أفشل ثورة إخناتون هو تعامله بالحب مع من لا يستحقون الحب ولا يعرفون قيم الجمال
و من لم يؤدبه الحب يؤدبه المزيد من الحب
لأنهم يبحثون عن السلطة والمال ويصلون إليها بأي طريقة حتي لو كان إيمانا زائفا
كما أن الثورة علي التقاليد بهدف أن تتغير سريعا لا يولد تغييرا في الحقيقة
وإنما حالة من الانبهار الخاطف بشيء جديد سرعان ما يذهب أدراج الرياح إذا تعارضت مع مصلحة ما أو مع معيشة مترفة هانئة
فالتغيير -أي تغيير - يجب أن يكون تدريجيا
تساءلت كثيرا أثناء قراءتها هل يجوز جلوسه علي العرش بهذه الطبيعة الفنية والإحساس المرهف مثلما انتقده أغلب كارهيه؟
هل كان يلزمه بعض القوة والحزم مع الحب الممتلئ به قلبه ؟
أعجبتني الرواية جدا في الحقيقة ولكن بها بعض الأخطاء حيث أن توت عنخ آمون هو ابن اخناتون وليس أخوه
ولمن سيقرأ هناك إثنتان "تي"
تي الأولي هي زوجة امنحتب الثالث وأم اخناتون
تي الثانية أو الأدق "تاي" هي زوجة آي أبو نفرتيتي ومربيتها
حتي لا يحدث خلط ( )

Nagib Machfus ist ein Erzähler in einem sehr ursprünglichen Sinne dieses Wortes: Er schreibt Geschichten, die sich Menschen gegenseitig erzählen, die sich wie ein pluralistisches Puzzle zur Wirklichkeit zusammenfügen und am Ende geschichtete Wahrheit bilden. Machfus, 1988 Arabiens erster Literatur-Nobelpreisträger, ist nicht nur Schriftsteller, sondern auch einer der bedeutendsten Kulturkritiker seines Landes. Und so ist Echnaton nicht nur ein historischer Roman. Thomas Mann hat schon in den 40er Jahren Echnatons Glaubensrevolution im Roman "Joseph und seine Brüder" zu einem Akt der Aufklärung stilisiert. Mit Joseph an seiner Seite wurde Echnaton zu einer Symbolfigur des Humanismus, die Mann im Exils der Herrschaft der Nationalsozialisten entgegenstellen wollte. Machfus schreibt mit der Geschichte des wahrheitsliebenden Pharao auch eine Parabel über das moderne Ägypten mit seinem religiösen Fanatismus und der Machtgier seiner Führungseliten. Damit ist dieser Roman, der im Original schon 1985 erschien, heute aktueller denn je.
