| Summary | "Uarda: A Romance of Ancient Egypt — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the ancient world of Egypt, showcasing the lives, intrigues, and relationships of characters intertwined with themes of love, societal norms, and class struggles. Central to the story is Princess Bent-Anat, daughter of Rameses, as she navigates her royal status and personal desires amidst the stark realities of ancient Egyptian society. The opening portion of this volume introduces a vivid examination of the setting, from the oppressive heat of the Egyptian sun to the bustling streets filled with workers and vendors. As the day progresses, Princess Bent-Anat is highlighted, accompanied by her followers, on a journey into the Necropolis. This section details her empathetic visit to a marginalized family, the paraschites, where she confronts the contrast between her privileged life and their suffering. The narrative reflects on themes of compassion and the ramifications of class distinctions as Bent-Anat's actions lead to personal judgments and societal implications, setting the stage for conflicts that will arise from her character's development and the perceptions of those around her.
