Henry Haggard: Cleopatra

Welcome to Ancient Egypt! A world of cunning rulers, dangerous intrigues and adventures. English writer Henry Rider Haggard, a prominent representative of Victorian adventure literature, loved this world with all his heart.
Sir Henry was an avid collector of Egyptian antiquities, jewelry, figurines and legends. He repeatedly visited Egypt, traveled with his family along the Nile, participated in archaeological excavations. One of his friends, a famous mystic in those days, claimed that in a previous incarnation, Henry Haggard was even some unknown pharaoh.
A deep interest in ancient civilizations inspired Henry Rider Haggard to create a gripping novel about ancient Egypt during the reign of Queen Cleopatra. The full name of the work: "Cleopatra. A story about the collapse of hopes and revenge of the descendant of the Egyptian pharaohs Harmachis, written by his own hand."
Young Harmachis is the heir to the dynasty of the pharaohs, who is destined to free Egypt from the power of the Ptolemies loyal to Rome and return it to its former glory. But for this, you will have to kill Queen Cleopatra, who rules the country - a smart, powerful and unusually beautiful woman who causes both hatred and admiration among the Egyptians.
Harmachis will plunge into the maelstrom of palace intrigues, show cunning and resourcefulness to get closer to his goal in a ruthless war for the throne. But can he himself resist the charms of the captivating Cleopatra? ..
