Rider (Henry Rider) 1856 1925 Haggard, Rider Haggard, Henry Rider Cleopatra Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_(Haggard_novel) Produced by John Bickers; Dagny; Emma Dudding; David Widger "Cleopatra" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the life and tumultuous reign of Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, exploring the interplay of power, politics, and personal fate amid the backdrop of ancient Egyptian culture. The story is narrated from the perspective of Harmachis, a fictional character of royal blood, who grapples with his destiny intertwined with that of Cleopatra and the Roman forces threatening Egypt. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a fascinating blend of history and mythology through the birth of Harmachis, a child prophesied to restore Egypt's monarchy. The opening chapters reveal the circumstances surrounding his upbringing, the tragic fate of his foster brother, and the political tensions brought about by the Ptolemaic dynasty's decline. As Harmachis recounts his formative years, he is depicted as a strong and noble figure, trained by the High Priest to eventually claim his rightful place. Through lush descriptions and dramatic events, the initial portion sets the stage for a tale that promises both adventure and a deeper exploration of the complexities of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power in a time when the fate of a nation hangs in balance.
