Summary "Cleopatra — Volume 04" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This installment continues the dramatic and intricate tale of Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, exploring themes of love, power, jealousy, and betrayal amidst the sociopolitical upheaval of the time. The narrative delves into Cleopatra's personal relationships, particularly her connection with Mark Antony and the implications of her decisions on the fate of her kingdom and her children. The fourth volume intricately intertwines personal conflict with grand historical events as Cleopatra grapples with the aftermath of the naval battle at Actium, which has darkened her reign. Highlighted in this installment are her encounters with Iras and various court officials while managing both her political plans and emotional struggles. The book features young characters like Caesarion and Barine, who find themselves entangled in the intrigues of the palace, leading to dramatic confrontations and a genuine examination of loyalty, honor, and ambition. Through Cleopatra's reflections on love and power, readers are introduced to the tragic consequences of her relationships and decisions, all while she plots to safeguard her legacy against mounting threats to her authority.
