Más información sobre el libro

Born from an obsession, this evocation of an ancient Egyptian queen reflects the obsession with a failed heresy, that of Nefertiti, who sought to overthrow tradition using beauty, respect, and art. Another failed heresy is experienced by the author: a Yugoslav before becoming Serbian, she breathed in the exaltation and then the fall of a movement that did not want to align with the Soviet bloc nor be colonized by the West. Thus, Nefertiti, condemned as a heretic herself, becomes the symbol of an ancestral world that is more relevant than ever, characterized by power struggles, envy, women subjugated to patriarchal oligarchy, and marginalization. This novel breaks the barrier of time to present us with a queen who is as distant as she is modern. Because "Nefertiti is here."
