Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz mines the riches of his homeland’s ancient past in Rhadopis of Nubia, an unforgettable love story set against the high politics of Egypt’s Sixth Dynasty.

Upon hearing Rhadopis described as “beauty itself,” the young pharaoh decides to return Rhadopis’s sandal himself. When the two meet, they are immediately seized by a passion far stronger than their ability to resist. Thus begins a love affair that makes them the envy of Egyptian society.

From Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz: the three magnificent novels—published in an omnibus edition for the first time—that form an ancient-Egyptian counterpart to his famous Cairo Trilogy. Mahfouz reaches back thousands of years to bring us tales from his homeland's majestic early history—tales of the Egyptian nobility and of war, star-crossed love, and the divine rule of the pharoahs. In Khufu's Wisdom, the legendary Fourth Dynasty monarch faces the prospect of the end of his rule and the possibility that his daughter has fallen in love with the man prophesied to be his successor. Rhadopis of Nubia is the unforgettable story of the charismatic young Pharoah Merenra II and the ravishing courtesan Rhadopis, whose love affair makes them the envy of all Egyptian society. And Thebes at War tells the epic story of Egypt's victory over the Asiatic foreigners who dominated the country for two centuries. Three Novels of Ancient Egypt gives us a dazzling tapestry of ancient Egypt and reminds us of the remarkable artistry of Naguib Mahfouz.

These stories speak of the demise of traditional Nubian life and culture. While the temples of Abu Simbel were relocated before dam-building, the drowning of the ancient heartland of the Nubian people along the banks of the Nile went largely unnoticed. Haggag Oddoul documents the personal tragedy of social transformation.

Known and loved throughout Egypt as a work that celebrates the national character, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz’s Thebes at War tells of a high point in Egyptian history–ancient Egypt’s defeat of Asiatic foreigners who had dominated northern Egypt for two hundred years. With a visit from a court official and a provocative insult, the southern pharaoh’s long simmering resentment boils over, leading him to commit himself and his heirs to an epic struggle for the throne. Filled with the grand clash of armies, staggering defeats, daring escapes, and glorious victories, and written at a time when Egypt was again under the sway of foreign powers, Thebes at War is a resounding call to remember Egypt’s long and noble history.

I, José Miguel Báez, an esoteric, apocryphal, philosophical and Kabbalist writer with a College degree in Anthropology from Lehman College brings you the English version of the book, La Filosofía Del Libro De Hermes Mercurio Trismegisto under its English name, The Book of Djehuti and I am also known in Face Book as, Al-Adán Mikael Ben HaKadosh. In my last literary work, I bring you the ancient philosophy of the magical prayers and rituals of the hermetic philosophy of the wisest and most powerful sacred scribe, high priest, magician, hierophant adept and seer of the ancient Egyptians, which I am as the spiritual and psychical Nefer-Ka-Ptah "The Perfect Spirit (Ka) of Ptah "G-d" who stole the "Argha of Thot", the "Blessings of Ishrael" and the philosophy of the infrastructure of a single and global government, banking and monetary system for the benefit of humanity. I would like for every man and woman of the modern world to be able to read, analyze and comprehend my last literary work and its philosophy as the godson of Thoth and Maat, which has become the spiritual embodiment of the "Argha of Thoth" and reveals the most powerful science of them all since I am the most powerful magician, sacred scribe and high priest of the ancient Sumerians, Hebrews, Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Celts, Germanic peoples and the Asians. "I am Thoth and Nefer-Ka-Ptah Imhotep, the one who is the decipherer and the knower of the mysteries of the androgynous G-d within the infinitude of space-time and eternity and its divine and immutable laws and wisdom, the Nahash Baqir, who opens the divine Torat and understands its Kabbalah."
