At the center of Khufu's Wisdom," "Nobel laureate Naguib
Mahfouz's majestic first novel, is the legendary Fourth Dynasty
monarch Khufu (Cheops), for whom the Great Pyramid of Giza was
built. When a seer prophesies the end of Khufu's dynasty and the
ascension to the throne of Djedefra, son of the High Priest of Ra,
the pharaoh must battle to preserve his legacy against the will of
the Fates. But in the face of the inexorable attraction between
Djedefra and Princess Meresankh, Khufu's beautiful daughter, Khufu
must consider not only his personal ambition and the opposing
decree of the heavens, but also how the wisdom he prides himself on
as a ruler will guide him in determining the fate of his daughter's
heart.
