Mauvais présage, disent les oracles. A la mort de son père, l'héritier proclame Dieu unique, Aton le solaire. L'Égypte tremble. A Thèbes, les prêtres implorent le jeune pharaon de préserver la multitude des dieux. Marié à Néphertiti, il bâtit la Cité de l'Horizon où il exhorte son peuple à la communion nouvelle. Les prêtres insoumis poursuivent leurs célébrations, invoquent les forces de la magie et l'ombre se profile derrière la silhouette du pharaon. The wife of Amenophis III gives birth to a son with an egg-shaped head. A bad omen, say the oracles. At his father's death, the heir proclaims a single God, Aton the sun. Egypt trembles. In Thebes, the priests plead with the young pharaoh to preserve the multitude of deities. Married to Nephertiti, he builds the City of the Horizon, where he urges his people to follow the new religion. The rebellious priests continue with their own celebrations, invoking the forces of magic and the shadow emerges behind the silhouette of the pharaoh.

Download or read book Casting off the Veil written by Sania Sharawi Lanfranchi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923, when the pioneer of feminist activism, Huda Shaarawi, removed her veil in Cairo's train station, she created what became a landmark (and much-copied) gesture for feminists throughout Egypt and the Middle East and cemented her status as one of the most important feminists in twentieth-century Egypt. In Casting off the Veil, her granddaughter Sania Sharawi Lanfranchi uses never-before seen letters and photographs to explore the life and thought of Egypt's first feminist, as she campaigned against British occupation, as well as striving to improve conditions for women throughout the country. From her birth into a wealthy and powerful family, her early years spent in a harem, to her iconic status as one of the most influential feminists in Middle Eastern history, this is a fascinating portrait of a determined and ground-breaking woman, a rich and important story which will captivate everyone with an interest in Egyptian, feminist or colonial history.
