The enigmas of queen Nefertiti and the anti-Semite cruelty of Franco, in Sàpiens
In its October edition, the magazine Sàpiens delves deeper into the life and legend of one of the most fascinating and mysterious characters of ancient Egypt: queen Nefertiti. Wife of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, Nefertiti lived and participated in one of the most convulsive eras of ancient Egypt. Sàpiens attempts to answer some of the enigmas surrounding her: where did she come from?, how did she live?, did she change her sex?, did she govern as a Pharaoh? In this edition, Sàpiens publishes an exclusive report on the cruel anti-Semitic measures of General Franco at the beginning of the dictatorship. The story comes from the life of Moshé Yanai, a Jew born in Catalonia who was forced to flee due to repression under Franco.

Plus, the life of Perot Rocaguinarda, a bandit at the beginning of the 17th century and an article on the day to day life in Barcelona in the Middle Ages. And once again this month, Spanish Civil War posters.
