Son of God, Son of the Sun
A beautiful, poetic, and philosophical account of Akhenaten -- perhaps the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt. Akhenaten was "the world's first individual" and, in the author's words, "the most perfect man in history." No other account of him offers as much insight and beauty as this one. Akhenaten was truly the first philosopher of light; his message is more urgently needed now than ever.
