About This Book

Het verhaal speelt zich af in Egypte tijdens de recente verovering door Arabische troepen en schetst de sociale en religieuze omwentelingen die daarop volgen. Een kleine karavaan arriveert in het vervallen Memphis, waar droogte en achteruitgang zichtbaar zijn; gesprekken tussen reizigers en lokale gidsen belichten tegenstellingen over tempelvernieling, geloofsverschillen tussen Melchieten en andere christelijke groeperingen, en de nieuwe machtsverhoudingen. De tekst wisselt levendige stads- en landschapsbeschrijvingen met politieke en religieuze debatten en legt nadruk op verlies, aanpassing en culturele botsingen in een veranderende samenleving.
