The novel Ancient Evenings is a breathtakingly sweeping attempt to recreate an entire period of Egyptian history - the era of the New Kingdom during the famous 19-20 dynasties, the "Ramses dynasties" (1290-1100 BC. ). The warrior Menenhetet tells his grandson about the campaigns of Ramses II the Great against the ruler of the Hittites and the Battle of Kadesh, about the beautiful, exquisite wife of the pharaoh - Nefertari, and about those years of power of the “Country of Both Lands”, when huge temples were erected in the Nile Valley, the treasury grew fat, people were everywhere they offered up prayers of praise to the gods and glorified the Son of Amon-Ra, the mighty King of Kings, Lord Ramses. In “Evenings in Ancient Times,” the magic of the word seems to bring to life a string of memories of distant, mysterious lands that never cease to excite the imagination of the best artists and writers of our time.
