| Summary | "Klea en Irene: roman" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt, focusing on the lives of two sisters, Klea and Irene, as they navigate their existence within the temple of Serapis. Themes of poverty, familial bonds, and the struggles of young women in a patriarchal society appear to be central to the narrative. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the sisters living in a modest dwelling near the temple. The opening describes their surroundings vividly, highlighting their poverty with intricate details of their home and life. The narrative centers on Irene, who, after a brief interaction with a mysterious Roman named Publius, experiences a sense of hunger not just for food, but for a life beyond their current limitations. Through their conversations, we see the dynamics between the sisters, particularly as Klea works tirelessly while Irene deals with her youthful fantasies and aspirations, setting the stage for potential conflicts and growth in their characters as the story unfolds.
