| Summary | "The Emperor — Volume 08" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel crafted in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of ancient Rome and focuses on the tumultuous life of the steward Keraunus and his family, particularly his daughter Arsinoe, following their father's sudden death. The story paints a vivid portrait of the dynamics within the household and the struggles they face in the wake of social and political upheaval. The opening of the volume introduces readers to the lavish yet precarious world of Keraunus, whose life takes a tragic turn after a confrontation with Emperor Hadrian leads to his untimely death. As the steward's family grapples with their new reality, Arsinoe emerges as a pivotal character, torn between her past and an uncertain future. The narrative explores themes of loss, desperation, and the need for survival as Arsinoe navigates the challenges posed by their fallen status and the danger of their circumstances. The tension escalates as the characters face betrayal, their hopes for stability are dashed, and they must seek refuge in the kindness of others. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
