Release date is 2004-11-15 Produced by David Widger "The Sisters — Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in ancient Egypt, it primarily revolves around the lives of two twin sisters, Klea and Irene, who find themselves intertwined in the political and religious turmoil of the time. The narrative delves into the complexities of their lives in the Serapeum, where they serve as "Pourers out of the libations," while also exploring their relationships with various historical figures. The opening of the book introduces the Serapeum of Memphis, presenting a vivid picture of the sisters' living conditions and their daily struggles. It highlights Irene’s youthful innocence and dreams of a better life, contrasting with Klea's quiet endurance and growing discontent. A significant moment occurs when they receive an unexpected visit from a Roman named Publius Cornelius Scipio, who interacts with both sisters, leaving a lasting impression on them. This initial chapter sets the stage for themes of love, ambition, and the fight against oppressive circumstances while hinting at the deeper historical context that influences their lives.
