"The Tour: A Story of Ancient Egypt" by Louis Couperus is a historical novel written in the early 20th century." The narrative follows Publius Lucius Sabinus, a young and wealthy Roman noble, as he embarks on a journey to Egypt, wrestling with immense grief over the disappearance of his beloved slave, Ilia. As Lucius navigates this exotic land filled with splendor and mystery, he grapples with his emotions, seeking solace and distraction amid the vibrant culture and rich history of Alexandria. "The opening of the novel sets a hauntingly beautiful scene aboard a ship gliding through the night, where Lucius listens to the melancholic songs of rowers and sailors." As he reflects on his sorrow, the narrative introduces his loyal tutor, Thrasyllus, who attempts to comfort him over Ilia's mysterious disappearance, believed to be at the hands of pirates. Despite the chatter of his companions, Lucius is consumed by despair, culminating in a desperate cry for Ilia. The melancholy atmosphere foreshadows the inner turmoil Lucius will face as he ventures through Egypt, intermingling themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of wisdom against an opulent backdrop.
