The time is 2600 B.C. The pharaoh Cheops hesitates to order the construction of a pyramid in his honor. But his court sages tell him that such a monument is essential--the pillar that holds power in place. Ismail Kadare's novel of ancient Egypt is a work that is at once historical fiction and a timeless exploration of the horror of untrammeled state power.
