Soleil sombre (La Traversée des temps, Tome 3)

Continuing its journey through human history, Noam awakened a long sleep on the banks of the Nile in 1650 B.C., and began to discover Memphis, capital of the two kingdoms of Egypt. Times changed well. From the houses of pleasure to the House of the Dead, from the Hebrew quarters to the palace of Pharaoh revealed to him an unheard of civilization that was transmitted on papyrus, venerating his nourishing river, inventing the Hereafter, erecting temples and pyramids to reach eternity. But Noam, the heart full of rage, had only one idea in mind: in meeting with his enemy to finally know the happy immortality with Noura, his beloved. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt sailed us this time into ancient Egypt, in the heart of a world that prospered for more than three thousand years, and restores this effervescence, whose modernity has preserved traces, but which remains in the history of men a parenthesis as sublime as it is.Renigmatic.
