Abstract

The novel "The Fire in the Pyramid of Cheops" (1926) by German writer Hans Dominik between science fiction and cultural memory. The research deals with the novel " The Fire in the Pyramid of Cheops" by German writer Hans Dominik, who is considered in German literature as one of the most important pioneers of literature of future novels. That novel was written in 1926 and Dominic imagines the struggle of three global powers in order to obtain the secret of atomic energy, namely Europe, the United States and the Kingdom Islamic fundamentally represented in the kingdom of Caliph Abd al-Rahman in Andalusia. When the novel was published, atomic energy had not yet been discovered, and the position of Muslims on the map of world powers - after the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate - did not indicate the possibility that Muslims would be employed as one of the scientific and civilized forces in conflict in order to obtain atomic energy. And the novel, in its weaving of this conflict within the event of the novel, nourishes its imaginary tributaries of the concept of cultural memory, where Dominic adopts German European cultural memory and using the anachrony in the narrative construction of this conflict to obtain the weapon of the future.
