Title : Tutankhamun or the Birth of the Gods - Volume 1 The Birth of the Gods - Dimitri Merejkovski - book
Summary :
The country is experiencing an aesthetic, literary, artistic, and scientific revolution comparable to the Italian Renaissance. Gods and humans rub shoulders naturally. Pharaohs and lepers see their lives punctuated by the blinking eyelashes of divinities that are both unreal and present. But revolt is brewing. Already. Akhenaten senses the one God. Merejkovski takes us to the heart of the pharaonic palaces and the maze of starving hovels; we witness the drama of Akhenaten's daughters and the paralyzing fears of the young Tutankhamun, who is still Tutankhamen; we penetrate the dark crypts of the living dead Egyptian priests, participate in the dream fishing on the eternal Nile and the murderous palace intrigues; we follow the beautiful Dio, a virgin Cretan dancer, priestess, and deicide. As always with Merezhkovsky, impressive historical erudition is put to the service of a novelistic effervescence worthy of the greatest. Populated by young and fiery characters, Tutankhamun is the novel of the world's youth.
