Summary "An Egyptian Princess — Volume 06" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the lives and interpersonal dynamics among Persian royalty and their Egyptian counterparts, focusing particularly on themes of love, jealousy, and political intrigue. Among the central figures are Cambyses, the King of Persia, and the titular Egyptian Princess Nitetis, who faces tumult and emotional turmoil amid royal expectations and familial tensions. At the start of the narrative, a grand banquet is set in the Persian court, filled with pomp and pageantry, yet it is marred by underlying currents of jealousy and suspicion. Cambyses displays affection for Nitetis but is consumed by doubts, leading to a series of events that complicate their relationship. The opening introduces various characters, including Cambyses' brother Bartja, who finds himself embroiled in a web of accusations involving Nitetis. As tensions rise, the reader witnesses the king's swift descent from joviality to rage, propelled by rumors, misunderstandings, and the manipulations of the eunuch Boges, signaling a dark turn in the story filled with impending conflict and the exploration of loyalty and betrayal.
