Au quatorzième siècle avant Jésus-Christ, voici l'extraordinaire Sinouhé. Nous l'accompagnons dans les ruelles de Thèbes, la ville dissolue, chez la terrible courtisane Nefernefer qui le ruine, dans le temple d'Amon parmi les prêtres, chez le pharaon dont il est le médecin, chez les embaumeurs parmi les cadavres, à la guerre contre les Hittites, en Crète dans le labyrinthe du Minotaure où il cherche une jeune vierge... Luttes religieuses du temps d'Akhenaton, crimes, amours, ambitions, intrigues... Sinouhé, las des dieux et dégoûté des hommes, se mêle à la plèbe et prêche l'égalité, ce qui lui vaut de nouveau malheurs…
