This collection of excerpts presents Henry Rider Haggard's 1889 novel, Cleopatra, focusing on the biography of the author, the historical context surrounding Cleopatra's death and potential plots against her, and the narrative of Harmachis. The story of Harmachis, presented as found within ancient papyrus rolls, details his secret royal lineage, his initiation into an Egyptian plot to overthrow the Ptolemies and the Roman influence, and his failed mission involving Cleopatra herself. The text follows Harmachis's journey from his training and mystical experiences to his ultimately tragic interactions with Cleopatra and Charmion, his betrayal of his cause, and his subsequent life and eventual confession, highlighting the themes of fate, duty, love, and the decline of ancient Egypt.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Cleopatra-Henry-Rider-Haggard/dp/1986515087?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=00bf56919cfa90b48a1e55ea41694342&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
