Translation of Der Kaiser.
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"The Emperor — Volume 01" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the Roman Empire, specifically around the time of Emperor Hadrian's reign, and aims to provide an immersive depiction of life in ancient Egypt and its intersection with Roman culture. The tale likely explores themes of power, beauty, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through the characters of Hadrian and his youthful lover, Antinous. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a chilly December morning, as Hadrian strides along a coastal causeway accompanied by his entourage. The scene captures a mix of nature's beauty and the somber atmosphere of a land caught in the throes of change. As they walk, curiosity arises from a local girl, who expresses a longing for a different emperor, highlighting the charm and fascination surrounding Hadrian's persona. Interactions between Hadrian and Antinous reveal a relationship filled with admiration and intimacy, reflecting on the emperor's deep musings about existence, ambition, and the fleeting nature of youth. Through its rich descriptions and character dynamics, the opening sets the stage for a larger narrative steeped in historical drama and emotion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
