About the book: 2016 / The old teacher Shebna predicted a difficult path for the young man who will go down in history under the name of Joseph the Beautiful: “Humiliation will humble your pride, from free you will become a slave, thousands of dangers will surround you, even your knowledge you will have to hide. But if you are strong, you will defeat fate; you will command where you previously obeyed, you will reign over those who humiliated you.” The wise predictor failed to see one thing through the unsteady veil of the future, what awaited his student at the end of the journey. Betrayed by those closest to him, having lost everything, the young man did not forget the words of his teacher. He will rule with an iron hand in foreign lands and become one of the most powerful people of Ancient Egypt. A man of extraordinary destiny, the mysterious Russian writer V. I. Kryzhanovskaya-Rochester (1857–1924) was awarded an honorary prize from the French Academy for a realistic description of the life and customs of the legendary countries of the pharaohs in the novel “The Iron Chancellor of Ancient Egypt”».
