"Cleopatra — Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the fascinating life of Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, exploring her complex relationships with prominent figures such as Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. The novel provides a rich tapestry of historical events framed by personal intrigue, betrayal, and the power dynamics of ancient Egypt and Rome. The opening of "Cleopatra — Complete" sets the stage for the emotional and political tumult surrounding Cleopatra's reign. It begins with the architect Gorgias reflecting on his ambitious work under Cleopatra, showcasing her as a powerful yet enigmatic figure who influences those around her. As we are introduced to characters like Cæsarion, Cleopatra's son, and various officials, the narrative hints at the tension leading up to crucial battles that could determine the fate of empires. Gorgias is caught between artistic ambition and the intrigues of the royal court, foreshadowing the struggle between personal desires and loyalty to the crown, suggesting that this story will weave together themes of love, power, and identity against the backdrop of a historically rich setting.
