Summary "Warda: Roman uit het oude Egypte" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the rich backdrop of ancient Egypt, specifically in Thebes, during a time when the culture, religion, and social structure of Egypt was deeply intertwined with the lives of its citizens. The plot centers around prominent characters such as Princess Bent-Anat and Mena, whose actions intertwine with the city's rich traditions and sacred practices. At the start of the narrative, readers are transported to the bustling environment of Thebes, where the Nile is both a giver of life and a challenge to the inhabitants. The opening describes the city's landscapes and how the Egyptians manage the floodwaters, revealing their deep connection to the environment and the divine. The narrative introduces a pivotal incident where Princess Bent-Anat accidentally injures a girl, leading her to seek medical help and engage with different societal classes, including a Paraschiet and the priests. This event sets off a series of interactions reflecting on purity, societal norms, and the reverence for life and death in Ancient Egyptian culture, as the princess navigates the complexities of her actions and their implications.
