Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Uarda : a Romance of Ancient Egypt — Volume 10" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written during the late 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. This installment continues the dramatic and romantic tale set in Ancient Egypt, intertwined with themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power. The narrative explores the lives of its characters against the backdrop of a richly detailed historical setting. In this volume, the plot thickens as conspiracies unfold around Pharaoh Rameses, whose life is threatened by treachery within his camp. Characters like Uarda, who has recently discovered her noble heritage, and Mena, the charioteer, are pivotal to the unfolding events, highlighting themes of loyalty and bravery. As a fire engulfs the palace, multiple heroic acts emerge, notably from Uarda and Nebsecht, who risk their lives to save others. The rich tapestry of love stories—particularly between Uarda and Rameri, as well as Bent-Anat and Pentaur—interweaves with personal sacrifice and the quest for peace amid political turmoil. The novel culminates in themes of renewal and reconciliation, emphasizing the enduring ties of family and love in the face of adversity.
