Serapis — Volume 02
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"Serapis — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in ancient Alexandria, focusing on characters grappling with the cultural and religious turmoil of the time as Christianity begins to rise in influence. Central to the story are characters like the spirited Dada, a young girl caught between her desire for freedom and the constraints of her environment, along with other figures navigating familial ties and shifting allegiances against the backdrop of a changing society. At the start of this volume, the action centers on Dada, who is feeling restless and defiant as she awaits a promised outing in the bustling city. Her impatience leads to a series of emotional outbursts, reflecting her struggles with the dominant authority of her caretaker and her yearning for autonomy. As Karnis agrees to take her on a tour of Alexandria, the narrative explores their excursion through the vibrant streets, juxtaposed with Karnis's nostalgic reflections on the city's pagan past versus its emerging Christian identity. The opening also introduces tensions between characters such as Marcus, who is drawn to Dada, and his brother Demetrius, who symbolizes the conflicts between old beliefs and new faiths, heightening the theme of personal connection amidst societal change.
