Summary "An Egyptian Princess — Volume 05" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds during the period of the Persian Empire, centering on the character Nitetis, an Egyptian princess who has found herself at the heart of the royal Persian court, navigating complex relationships and political intrigues." "The opening of the novel introduces readers to Nitetis as she begins her new life in a country-house in Babylon, under the guidance of Croesus. Her daily interactions with the blind queen Kassandane and the spirited Atossa foster a sense of belonging, though she cannot shake the pain of missing her home in Egypt. As Nitetis attracts the attention of the king, Cambyses, her feelings evolve from fear to passionate admiration, signaling a potential romantic entanglement. Meanwhile, political tensions simmer in the background, particularly with rival Phaedime who is intent on reclaiming her standing at court. The narrative sets the stage for a blend of personal and political drama as the characters navigate love, rivalry, and ambition against the backdrop of a vibrant and tumultuous era."
