| Summary | "Cleopatra — Volume 01" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and times of Cleopatra, exploring her complex character and the dramatic interplay between her and the prominent figures of her era, particularly Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. The story begins with the backdrop of competitiveness among the powerful in Alexandria, highlighting the dynamics of love, politics, and society in ancient Egypt. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gorgias, an architect responsible for Cleopatra's monumental constructions in Alexandria. As he navigates the political landscape influenced by Cleopatra and Antony, he is approached by Caesarion, Cleopatra’s son, who yearns to speak with him privately. While Gorgias prepares for a monumental project involving sculptural representations of the royal lovers, the narrative reveals the tension surrounding Cleopatra's reign and the impending battle against Octavian’s forces. This portion establishes an atmosphere of anticipation and sets the stage for the unfolding conflicts, as Gorgias grapples with the implications of his work amidst looming political threats and personal relationships intertwined with Cleopatra's legacy.
