(Mary Joanna) 1842 1916 Safford, Mary Joanna Arachne — Complete Produced by David Widger "Arachne — Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in ancient Egypt, exploring the intricacies of human relationships amid broader themes such as art, ambition, and the conflict between tradition and individuality. The narrative introduces Ledscha, a beautiful but troubled young woman caught between her love for the sculptor Hermon and the expectations of her Biamite heritage, as well as the looming presence of societal norms. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the setting, with descriptions of the natural environment and the small city of Tennis, which is surrounded by water during the inundation period. We meet Ledscha as she waits at the Owl's Nest for Hermon, a Greek artist, whose affections she deeply yearns for. However, her excitement is tainted by jealousy when she observes Hermon interacting with a beautiful stranger from Alexandria, which raises doubts about his intentions with Ledscha. As the narrative progresses, the conflict between her passionate desires and the realities of love, loyalty, and betrayal becomes increasingly apparent, setting the stage for a tale rich with emotional depth and tension.
