"De nijlbruid" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in Egypt during the early years of Arab domination, the narrative follows the lives of a prominent family, particularly focusing on Mukaukas Georg and his son Orion, as they navigate the complex social and religious upheaval of their time. The themes delve into personal and political struggles, love, and faith amidst cultural conflicts. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to a starkly changed Egypt following its conquest by Arab forces. Mukaukas Georg is depicted as a once-powerful leader grappling with the decline of his city, Memphis, and the loss of his sons. As the tale unfolds, Orion returns from Constantinople, stirring excitement in the realm and drawing attention to his noble lineage. The dynamics between characters are emphasized through dialogue that reveals their views on faith, power, and personal relationships, especially concerning the implications of marrying the beautiful but Melchietic Paula, which would challenge the family's beliefs. The opening portion sets the stage for a rich exploration of love and conflict against the backdrop of a transforming society.
