Produktinformationen zu „Tut's Queen (ePub)“
The beautiful Queen Ankh schemes for the crown of the frail Tut. Desperate for a viable son, she toys with the infatuated Carver, an inventive apprentice who spins dreams of becoming great beyond words. Intoxicated, he spies on the royal couple, and becomes embroiled in the intrigues of the court. Ankh learns the chariot-driving technique of warrior pharaohs to prove her legitimacy, but she also drugs and even kills people to suit her aims. Carver plays a crucial role when Tut dies in a reckless attempt to bolster his image. The widowed Ankh sees her dreams crash, but Carver finds fresh beauty under her tears.
The story is founded in history, includes important but little known characters, and offers notions of ancient erotica. The narrative has subtle humor and much fantasy such as the pretend-precursor to a passage in the Iliad, or Carver breaking into Tut's tomb to suffer the Pharaoh's revenge.

Autoren-Porträt von Bela I. Sandor
Bela I. Sandor is Professor Emeritus of Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (www.engr.wisc.edu/ep/faculty/sandor_bela.html). He is a technical expert on chariots, having researched their surprisingly sophisticated design, such as springs, shock absorbers, complex wheels, vibration control, and a stupendous anti-roll mechanism. These findings, enhanced by analyses of artistic works from Egypt, Greece and Rome, provide new clues to our understanding of ancient technology development. His seminal paper “The Rise and Decline of the Tutankhamun-Class Chariot” in the Oxford Journal of Archaeology, May 2004, is accessible by non-specialists. His work includes studies of the people of the ancient world, their art, literature, religion and sport, initially mentored by Professor Lanny Bell.Bela Sandor's poetry writing was mentored by Ron Wallace and Dave Clewell at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He studied fiction writing with Judy Bridges and Norb Blei at The Clearing in Wisconsin.
Bela lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with his wife Ruth of 40 years. He has four daughters and seven grandchildren. He is an active competitor in US Masters Swimming, twice a national champion, and currently holding the national record in the 200-yard breaststroke in the 70-74 age group.
