In her second book with Bertrand Brasil, Pauline Gedge presents the novel \"The Twelfth Transformation,\" winner of the Writers Guild of Alberta Award for best novel of the year. A perfect portrayal of the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten, one of the most important and controversial of Ancient Egypt. The country is at its height when Akhenaten ascends to the throne after the death of his father, Amenhotep III, who left him a legacy of a vast empire, well-defined borders, and a military might feared by neighboring states. However, unlike his people, who worship many deities, the new pharaoh believes in the omnipotence of Aten, the sun god—and his goal is to prevent the worship of any other god. A novel full of pomp, passion, intrigue, and death, interspersed with research-proven historical facts, it reconstructs the court of Akhenaten, one of Egypt's most mysterious rulers, and shows Egypt during pharaonic times in its glory and decadence. Pauline has outdone herself with this novel, which, from the beginning, transports the reader into the 18th Egyptian dynasty, home to Pharaoh Amenhotep III, his wife, Empress Tiye, their son Akhenaten—who will assume the throne after his father's death—and his wife, Nefertiti. The author analyzes a time of murder, conspiracies, intrigue, true passions, and important cultural discoveries. The reader will never know who is allied with whom and will learn the strange customs of this society. \"A brilliant novel of pharaonic decadence.\" - New York Times \"With stunning realism, The Twelfth Transformation evokes the multifaceted plot of an ancient tragedy.\" - Publishers Weekly","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176266481916,"sku":"9788528615593","price":99.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d00815ea2583eb1ef232db0030e313e9.jpg?v=1778312703"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/pauline-gedge.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
