| Summary | "The Sisters — Volume 4" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel set in ancient Egypt, likely written in the late 19th century. This installment focuses on the intertwining fates of its main characters, particularly the sisters Klea and Irene, against a backdrop of the rich tapestry of Egyptian religious and cultural practices. The narrative explores themes of family loyalty, the complexities of love, and the struggles against formidable societal forces. The opening portion of the story introduces us to Klea as she hurries along a paved road from the temple of Serapis, with her thoughts consumed by her sister Irene's abduction. Klea's encounter with Krates, the old smith, reveals her determination to save Irene and highlights her resourcefulness. As she travels towards Memphis, she confronts both external dangers, embodied by the soldiers she encounters, and her internal conflicts related to love and familial duty. The tension escalates as she is drawn into a web of intrigue, especially upon overhearing plots against Publius, the Roman she has feelings for, setting the stage for the unfolding drama centered around rescue, betrayal, and the fight against fate itself.
