Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth a Novel by Naguib Mahfouz
4.0
A small book that slowly captivates with its gentle magic.
The narrator’s journey became mine as well, looking for truth while finding only beauty. Which is more truthful: beauty/light/love or harsh reality? Are people who see the harsh reality more clairvoyant or simply too cynical?
I like how the story allows space for the narrator and the reader in turn to come to their own conclusions.
It’s not the best translation, but clear that the writing songs in the original Arabic.
