Akhenaten

Why does eternal life make use so ravenous?

First published to widespread acclaim in 1992, Dorothy Porter's electrifying fifth book, Akhenaten brings to life Egypt's rogue pharaoh.

Told in his unique and seductive voice, we learn of his regal childhood, his marriage to the beautiful Nefertiti, his brief, chaotic reign, and his tormented end.

A compelling story of incest, heresy and megalomania, Akhenaten showcases the formidable talents of Australia's most maverick and versatile poet.
