The book explores the life of Cleopatra, focusing on her reign, her relationships with key historical figures like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and the political landscape of Egypt during a time of significant turmoil. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Cleopatra's character and the complexities of her time. The opening of the text sets the stage for Cleopatra's story by elaborating on the political climate of Egypt and detailing its rich history before her reign. Houssaye describes Egypt as a land on the verge of decline, heavily influenced by Roman interests, and captures the grandeur of Alexandria, the capital of the Ptolemies. The text introduces Cleopatra as a strong and intelligent young woman who comes into power during a turbulent time, marked by political intrigue and familial rivalry. As the narrative unfolds, it also hints at her daring actions, such as her flight from Alexandria to regroup her forces, and paints a vivid portrait of her beauty and seductive prowess which captivated powerful men like Caesar and Antony, shaping both their fates and her own.
