A great adventure that lacks historical details for my taste ...

We are in 730 BC about. Egypt is divided in two, if not of law, is certainly. The power of the pharaohs sest gradually waned and Libyan princes nibble Egyptian territory. The current pharaoh, Piankhy, a Nubian with black skin, lives entrenched in his Nubian capital.
Things could have remained unchanged for long if Tefnakt, a charismatic leader navaient raised troops in the north, seizing the official capital of Egypt, Memphis. The Pharaoh has no choice: either he leaves his country and keeps Nubia and an empty title of sense or he fights and attempts to reunite Egypt. Its decision will depend the future of his country. Yet it is well where he is, surrounded by his wife and children, leading a golden and peaceful existence in his magnificent palace where his every wish come true. And even if he decided to go to war, victory is far from assured, quite the contrary.
Christian Jacq captivates us, as usual, and this is a little-known part of Egyptian history reveals it here. Exciting, exciting, real, black Pharaoh is a book to read for those who like Egypt or just history and wonderful memories ...'.....''... '' ''

I like when Christian Jacq does not carry us in the sagas to no end, often combining detective story in its historical romance as "the queen sun" ...

Still, I was a little disappointed by this black pharaoh! While he reads very easily, we appreciate his personality and his love for his wife, but I found that the story is a little sloppy, a little lack of inspiration ??? A reminder of the editor claiming a book at all costs ??? I do not know!

Anyway, I did not feel to feel the hot breath of the wind rushing into the desert, his breath caressing the towering monuments to the glory of the gods or their earthly representatives, the pharaohs. .. I did not feel the magic that takes me beyond the gates of time, away to this country that fascinates me for over 3 decades. I have not found the grandiose epic that we deliver some epic films in this struggle for the reunification of Egypt! Everything happened too fast, too easily, as if the gods had listened to the prayers of Piankhy had been bewitched by the charm of his sorceress wife, and had fulfilled the wishes of a people on a snap. ..

I did not find either the worries of the author to the historical reality, as if he had dreamed this story and was lying on the paper without being documented, but hey, it's not me who will throw stones at an author, let alone him ...
