Dynasty 18 (1550 - 1069 BCE): Ahmose (in the book also Isfinis (trader)), Amenhotep Apophis: Hyksos pharaoh of the North. The story recounts a period in Ancient Egypt where the Hyksos, who ruled Northern Egypt for 100 years or so, battled with Southern Egypt. Apophis, Hyksos leader and pharaoh of the North, insisted that certain demands be met by Southern Egypt (based in Thebes). When Thebes refused war ensues. During the battle Seqenenre is killed (consistent w/the historical record). In the book Thebes is then occupied by the Hyksos (doesn't follow the historical record). The Egyptian royalty escapes to Nubia (current day Sudan). In Nubia the Egyptians build up their military (e.g. chariots and war vessels). Prince Ahmose then schemes to open the Nile to trading efforts (a ruse to regain communication w/Thebes and its people). After 10 years and some diplomatic wins the Southern Egyptians are ready to run off the Hyksos. Kamose leads the army to battle but is killed (follows the historical record). Ahmose takes over and runs the Hyksos out of the country. En el siglo XVI a.C. los invasores hicsos, procedentes de Asia, detentan el poder en el bajo Egipto desde hace más de una centuria, imperando su rey Apofis, mientras que el legítimo heredero de los faraones antiguos, Sekenenre, es ahora su vasallo, gobernador local del alto Egipto, con capital en Tebas. "La batalla de Tebas" narra la lucha entre hicsos y egipcios por conquistar la corona de faraón. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Known and loved throughout Egypt as a work that celebrates the national character, Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz’s Thebes at War tells of a high point in Egyptian history–ancient Egypt’s defeat of Asiatic foreigners who had dominated northern Egypt for two hundred years. With a visit from a court official and a provocative insult, the southern pharaoh’s long simmering resentment boils over, leading him to commit himself and his heirs to an epic struggle for the throne. Filled with the grand clash of armies, staggering defeats, daring escapes, and glorious victories, and written at a time when Egypt was again under the sway of foreign powers, Thebes at War is a resounding call to remember Egypt’s long and noble history.
