Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

- James Baldwin

English books: Secrets of the Desert

What's up, folks?
Hey, while being on holidays in Madrid I finished reading the sequel to "Beneath the Pyramid" from "The Judge of Egypt Trilogy" and I LOVED it.
Really, how can't you enjoy discovering how Judge Pazair makes his way through lies, plots, and crimes? It's thrilling, and I'm going to do my best to transmit this amazing experience of literature to you.
As you well know, Pazair is a judge in Ancient Egypt. He truly believes in justice and so he's the best judge known in the country. Because of his merits and his young age, the leaders decide to take him from his little town to Memphis, where he's about to be more important.
When he starts to work he discovers a plot to take control of Pharaoh and so he starts trying to stop it. The conspirators discover it and send him to a prison because of a crime he hasn't committed.
Until now the first book.
In this second one Pazair manages to scape the prison but finds himself surrounded by dangerous people. In spite of this, he continues trying to get the crime discovered and at the same time cover up his friend Suti, discover Branir's murderer and the murderers of the five guards on the Sphinx.
What will happen? Will he... die while trying?
Read it, you won't be disappointed.
