Ibrahim Ahmed Issa

An Alexandrian novelist and historian, Ibrahim Ahmed Issa specializes in “lost history”. He won the Katara Prize (2018) for Bari: An Anthem of Sudan. His novels, such as The Wolf of Orwell and The Revolt of the Alpujarras, often focus on the plight of minorities (such as the Moriscos) and marginalized historical figures, blending rigorous research with engaging storytelling.

Men and Gods

Step into a dramatic, ancient Egypt defined by political chaos and religious warfare. Following the death of Akhenaten, the kingdom of Egypt falls into a dark struggle for control between the powerful priests of Amun and the royal military. Ibrahim Ahmed Issa combines historical research with thrilling suspense to explore the dangerous alliance between state power and religious authority. Through the eyes of soldiers, priests, and ordinary citizens, Men and Gods delivers a powerful critique of authoritarianism, demonstrating that the struggle for human freedom remains unchanged across millennia.
