  • ""Against the background of the high politics of Sixth Dynasty Egypt, a powerful love grows between Rhadopis, a courtesan whose ravishing beauty is unmatched in time or place, and youthful, headstrong Pharaoh Merenra, worshiped by his people as a divine presence on earth. Rhadopis comes of poor peasant stock, but her star rises until she become the most celebrated woman in the kingdom, entertaining her countless lovers, who include the most powerful men in the realm, with her dancing, singing, and stimulating intellectual conversation in her white palace on an island in the Nile. Despite the attention and the endless stream of suitors, however, Rhadopis's heart remains cold and loveless-until events conspire in the strangest of ways to bring her to the attention of Pharaoh himself. From there the two of them embark on a journey of intense passion that is totally absorbing and ultimately tragic. As their obsession for one another burns wildly, they become caught up in the violent turbulence of the politics of the day-Merenra through his desire to sequester the properties of the priesthood and Rhadopis by her efforts to control the march of destiny and avoid their untimely but inevitable fate. But for Rhadopis, who has played with men's minds and danced on the scattered shards of their broken hearts, and Pharaoh, who has sought to flaunt ancient tradition for his own ends, can the power of love ultimately offer protection? "--Publisher description."
  • "Als der Pharao der Kurtisane Radubis begegnet, von der schon Herodot berichtete, ist es um ihn geschehen. Die beiden geben sich ihrer Leidenschaft hin und der Pharao merkt nicht, wie es im Volk brodelt."
  • "Courtisane d'une beauté inouïe, Rhodopis a un c¿ur de pierre. Lorsque son regard croise celui du jeune pharaon Mérenrê II, elle est parcourue d'un étrange frisson. Que lui arrive-t-il. ? Cette passion dévorante détourne peu à peu le roi de ses devoirs et remet en cause le fragile équilibre politique du régime. Une fabuleuse histoire aux airs de conte des Mille et une nuits."
