The Theocrat centers on one of Arab and Islamic history s most perplexing figures, al-Hakim bi-Amr Illah ( the ruler by order of God ), the Fatimid caliph who ruled Egypt during the tenth century. In this remarkable novel Bensalem Himmich explores the tensions and conflicts and their disastrous consequences on an individual ruler and on his people. The full horror and tragedy of al-Hakim s reign is shown in vivid historical narratives; and throws into relief the qualities of those who find themselves forced to cajole, confront, or oppose him.
