Summary "The Emperor — Volume 07" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the complex themes of identity, faith, and the nature of power, set against the backdrop of Roman Egypt. The narrative follows several characters, including Aurelius Verus and Apollodorus, as they navigate personal and social conflicts during a time of imperial tension, particularly exploring issues faced by the Jewish community in Alexandria. The opening of this volume introduces various characters and sets the stage for the unfolding drama. It begins with Verus attempting to engage with the Empress Sabina about attending a festival, while tensions simmer around Apollodorus, a Jew, who feels the weight of cultural and religious expectations. A conflict soon arises as a riotous mob threatens Apollodorus' home due to its lack of festive decoration. This situation escalates into chaos, showcasing the volatility between different cultural factions in Alexandria. Meanwhile, Apollodorus grapples with familial obligations as his daughter Ismene faces a marriage proposal that does not align with her desires, highlighting personal stakes amidst the larger societal turmoil. This opening establishes a rich tapestry of interactions that intertwine personal desires with the broader social narrative, creating an engaging foundation for the rest of the story.
