The Emperor

The Emperor is a historical novel written by Georg Ebers. Set in ancient Rome, it tells the story of the life of Julius Caesar, from his early years as a young man to his rise as a powerful emperor. The novel explores the political and social landscape of Rome during Caesar's time, including the struggles for power between the different factions of the Roman Senate, the complex relationships between Caesar and his allies, and the challenges he faced as he sought to establish his rule over the vast Roman Empire. Along the way, the novel also delves into Caesar's personal life, including his relationships with his wives and mistresses, his friendships and rivalries with other historical figures, and his struggles with his own ambition and ego. With vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of ancient Rome, The Emperor is a compelling work of historical fiction that brings one of the most fascinating periods of world history to life.There was a sudden stir behind the screens which enclosed the sculptor and the work in progress.
