In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams, which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives and the power of one.

Los templos del norte de Egipto están desiertos y los dioses han caído en el olvido. La corrupción y la injusticia campan a sus anchas. Han pasado cinco siglos desde los tiempos esplendorosos de Ramsés, cinco siglos en los que el imperio se ha visto abocado a una situación insostenible de la que parece que nunca va a salir. Sin embargo, un nubio se enfrenta a dicha fatalidad: Pianjy, el faraón negro, que gobierna en su reino del Sur con sabiduría y bondad. Un solo deseo alberga en su corazón: que los dioses vuelvan a instalarse en un nuevo Egipto de justicia y amor. Pero el precio que deberá pagar para conseguirlo tal vez sea demasiado elevado; Pianjy, hombre de paz, deberá enfrentarse al libio Tefnakt, un príncipe norteño autoritario y ambicioso que pretende reinar tras unificar el país con la fuerza de las armas. La guerra es inevitable, y de la victoria de uno u otro depende la supervivencia de un mundo sabio y milenario... ¿Le bastará al faraón negro su valentía para salir vencedor de la contienda? ¿Será la magia de su esposa capaz de conseguir lo imposible? Con su nueva novela, El faraón negro, Christian Jacq se consagra una vez más como uno de los autores de bestsellers de mayor éxito del momento.

This extraordinary bestseller is still the most incisive, thought-provoking book ever written about the Middle East. Thomas L. Friedman, twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting, and now the Foreign Affairs columnist on the op-ed page of the New York Times, drew on his ten years in the Middle East to write a book that The Wall Street Journal called "a sparkling intellectual guidebook... an engrossing journey not to be missed." Now with a new chapter that brings the ever-changing history of the conflict in the Middle East up to date, this seminal historical work reaffirms both its timeliness and its timelessness. "If you're only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it." -- Seymour Hersh

Grazie a loro “Piccolo Albero” crescerà, senza mai smettere di guardare il mondo con ammirazione e con sorpresa. Imparerà ad avere fiducia nelle persone e a non fidarsi ciecamente delle autorità. Grazie alla natura, agli alberi, agli animali apprenderà a vivere in armonia con ciò che lo circonda; con la voce che scaturisce al profondo della terra.
