An Egyptian Princess — Volume 08
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"An Egyptian Princess — Volume 08" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a richly detailed setting that immerses the reader in ancient Egypt, focusing on themes of medicine, love, betrayal, and the interplay between human feelings and societal expectations. At the center of the story is Nebenchari, a skilled Egyptian physician, who is devoted to his patient Nitetis and grappling with profound internal conflict regarding loyalty and justice amidst the backdrop of royal intrigue and personal tragedy. The opening of the novel introduces us to a tense and poignant scene where Nebenchari tends to the gravely ill Nitetis, an Egyptian princess. As he provides care, he is surrounded by Persian doctors and witnesses the emotional turmoil of those close to Nitetis, including her father, Cambyses. Amidst the somber atmosphere, Nitetis expresses a powerful desire for dignity even in death, requesting Nebenchari to ensure her body is embalmed according to Egyptian customs. Their conversation touches on themes of identity and loyalty, and as Nitetis prepares to succumb to her fate, Nebenchari is confronted with the weight of his own aspirations and feelings of betrayal related to his former homeland. The passage captures the interplay of personal grief and political tension, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
