Rider Haggard’s Cleopatra tells the tale of the legendary queen as shown through the eyes of Harmachis, an Egyptian physician and priest of Isis. It is written from the point of view of Harmacis at the end of his life. He is ancient and recounts his life tale. Like so many others he was obsessed with the gorgeous Cleopatra, and so he tells her tale as much as his.
Unlike most admirers, Harmachis really gets involved with Cleopatra. She pushes him to reveal secrets of Isis (including the location of hidden treasures of the pyramids) to further her political ends. Throughout the tale, the reader is left wondering whether Cleopatra really does like Harmachis. Sometimes she seems only to use him and she does betray him every time. But one has to consider that Harmachis comes from low class parents, so really ending up with him might not be an option for her. She seems to really like him and maybe she really is trying to arrange things for them. Her power over him is perfect, possibly because she doesn’t know what she wants.
The setting and tale are lavish. After all, this is very ancient Egypt, perfect with hidden treasures of Isis. At the same time the tale is about more timeless issues – like and treachery and like vs religion. It has the right blend of action, emotion and awesome settings to keep me interested all the way through. And the very ancient setting keeps Cleopatra from feeling dated, as do some of Haggard’s additional novels.
I highly recommend Cleopatra to anyone into 1890’s stuff, Egyptian stuff or adventure novels.
