| Summary | "The Emperor — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely penned in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in ancient Alexandria, exploring the lives of various characters amidst the backdrop of societal upheaval and the upcoming visit of Emperor Hadrian. Key figures include Pontius, an architect; Keraunus, the palace steward; and Selene, Keraunus's daughter, who faces personal struggles and family responsibilities. The opening of this volume introduces a mix of humor and tension within the interactions of the characters, particularly during a supper gathering that explores interpersonal relationships and the burgeoning tension in society regarding the Emperor's arrival. As Keraunus unwittingly reveals his biases and ambitions regarding his daughters' futures, Selene is shown grappling with the burdens of her family's financial struggles and her father's impractical aspirations. This intricate web of character dynamics sets the stage for larger themes to be explored in the novel, such as the intersection of personal desire and societal expectations.
