With the figure of the pharaoh as the central axis, the tales explore the relationship between power and magic, ingenuity and loyalty. The reader will discover how the magician Djedi manages to overcome the boredom of King Cheops himself, and how the future sovereign Chefren emerges in these stories that combine oral tradition, mythology, and the fascinating universe of Pharaonic Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book transports the reader to the Egypt of the pharaohs through three short narratives that have endured for over four thousand years. Each tale revolves around the royal court and the need to please the sovereign, showing how subjects, priests, and magicians interact with the divine power of the pharaoh. In the first story, the magic of Djedi becomes the means to dispel the weariness of Cheops, while in the following stories the figure of Chefren is glimpsed as the future ruler.
