Translation of Die schwestern.
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"The Sisters — Volume 3" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the tale set in ancient Egypt, revolving around the lives of two sisters, Klea and Irene, as they navigate the treacherous waters of love, politics, and power struggles in a time marked by the influence of figures like Cleopatra and the machinations of powerful men such as King Euergetes. The plot is characterized by themes of loyalty, personal sacrifice, and the intersection between fate and individual choice. At the start of this volume, the tension is palpable in the wake of an extravagant feast where many revelers are still celebrating, while important characters, including Publius and Lysias, engage in a dialogue filled with urgency over the safety of Irene. As discussions about the malicious intentions of Euergetes arise, it becomes evident that both young men feel a protective impulse toward the sisters. Simultaneously, we witness Irene's innocence as she navigates her circumstances, underscoring both her vulnerability and the stakes involved. The opening sets the stage for a plot brimming with intrigue, highlighting the young women’s entrapment due to the desires of powerful men and igniting a sense of impending danger that looms over their fates.
