Question
In this story, an old man faints after the “companions” bring him before the “lord of perception.” After his “senses were disturbed, [his] arms spread out, and trembling came over every part of [him],” a character in this story passes the Walls of the Prince and is given boiled milk by a wanderer. Along with the Loyalist Instruction, this story is taken as an exemplar of the “king-guided” individual’s role in “connective justice” in Jan Assmann’s book on the “mind” of its country. While living among the (*) “Asiatics,” the protagonist of this story defeats the champion of Retenu in a duel that may be the source for David’s combat with Goliath. Mika Waltari’s magnum opus retells this story, whose title character flees his homeland in a panic but returns as an old man during the reign of Senusret I. For 10 points, name this story that presents an autobiographical account of the title Middle Kingdom nobleman. ■END■
