An Egyptian Princess — Volume 07 by Georg Ebers
"An Egyptian Princess — Volume 07" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of ancient Babylon, filled with political and social intrigue, focusing on the plight of the Egyptian princess Nitetis, who is facing disgrace while interests in multiple characters—a blend of royalty, political figures, and common citizens—intertwine their fates amid a tumultuous setting. The opening of the book
introduces a chaotic scene in Babylon as news spreads of impending executions linked to royal betrayals. The crowd, fueled by a mix of drunkenness and indignation, gathers to witness the punishment of a king’s wife, as well as the fate of Bartja and his associates, wrongly condemned for perceived treachery. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious Greek noble named Phanes enters the picture, carrying vital information that could save the unjustly sentenced. The chapter concludes with hints at deeper conspiracies and relationships, particularly as Phanes seeks to prove Bartja’s innocence and secure favor with the ruling power. The tension and complex character interactions set the stage for a gripping tale of loyalty, love, and revenge within the luxurious yet perilous confines of royal court life.
