| Summary | "Cleopatra — Volume 05" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt, it provides an intricate portrayal of the political and personal life of Cleopatra VII, focusing on her relationships and challenges in a tumultuous era. The narrative delves into themes of love, jealousy, and the struggle for power, depicting the complexities of the Queen's character and the dynamics within her court. In this volume, the story centers around Barine, a character caught in the web of Cleopatra's court, who faces tumultuous emotions rooted in jealousy, love, and betrayal. As Barine navigates her relationship with her wounded lover, Dion, the arrival of Iras and Alexas, who serve the Queen, introduces tension and danger. The Queen’s summons leads to a suspenseful examination of Barine, where tensions flare and emotions run high, especially with Cleopatra’s growing jealousy over Barine's connection to Mark Antony. This volume illustrates the intricate dance of favors, resentments, and the quest for power, as Barine seeks to defend her honor in a world fraught with intrigue and peril.
