The Sisters — Volume 5
Translation of "Die Schwestern."
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"The Sisters — Volume 5" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. This volume dives into a narrative thick with intrigue and supernatural elements against the backdrop of ancient Egyptian society, combining themes of love, familial duty, and the struggle against fate. The main character, Serapion, a recluse and an astrologer finds himself amidst chaos, as he risks everything to protect his daughter. At the start of the volume, we observe an astrologer on the roof of a temple in the Serapeum, troubled by ominous signs in the night sky while the gatekeeper shares tales of ghosts and omens. Meanwhile, Serapion has escaped from his imprisonment to join the world outside, frantically seeking his beloved daughter, Klea. The opening portion introduces a night filled with tension and foreboding, as Serapion’s journey unfolds amidst an atmosphere of horror and destiny. The initial scenes cleverly establish the stakes as Serapion confronts both internal and external demons, eventually leading to a harrowing encounter in the desert that sets the stage for conflicts yet to arise as the story progresses.
