Summary "The Emperor — Volume 10" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the context of ancient Rome and centers around the characters Selene and Antinous, who find themselves embroiled in themes of love, faith, tragedy, and the evolving identities in a world filled with political and spiritual turmoil. The opening of the novel introduces the poignant moment of Selene and Helios's baptism, marking a significant turning point in their lives as they prepare to journey to their new home in Upper Egypt. Selene grapples with her feelings for Antinous, reflecting on her past sufferings and her newfound faith. Meanwhile, Antinous, the favored companion of Emperor Hadrian, is depicted as becoming increasingly detached from the world around him, haunted by his emotions and longing for Selene. The narrative sets up a rich tapestry of interwoven lives, delving into the conflicts of belief and the specter of mortality, foreshadowing grander tragedies and transformations as the story unfolds.
