520			_a"Serapis, Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel set in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in ancient Alexandria during a time of religious conflict, showcasing the struggles between pagans and early Christians. The story follows the lives of a family of wandering musicians, particularly focusing on the character of Karnis, who grapples with the consequences of a new edict that threatens their art and existence. The opening of the novel introduces a tense atmosphere in the city of Alexandria, where a lack of peace prevails amid increased military presence and societal strife. We meet Karnis, an old man sneaking through the streets, seeking refuge with his family after suffering the loss of their possessions to pirates. Upon arriving at a refuge, he learns about the precarious situation through the conversations with his son, Orpheus, and their struggles as they navigate the complexities of their world. The opening chapters depict their hopes of reclaiming their musical careers and the potential involvement of Agne, a young Christian girl, in their performances, weaving themes of art, faith, and survival in a rapidly changing society.
