When Julius Caesar arrives in Egypt and finds Cleopatra in hiding,
he encourages her to return to the palace and embrace her role as
queen. Shaw depicts an unlikely pair that bond over a common goal.
As Roman forces invade Egypt, Julius Caesar stumbles across a young
Cleopatra hiding amongst the statues. He initially conceals his
identity, as the queen expresses concern over Caesar and his
impending army. When he convinces her to return to the palace, she
soon discovers his true name. Following a brief exchange, the young
woman is relieved as Caesar has quelled her worst fears. Yet, in
the midst of a Roman occupation, Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy
engage in a bitter battle for the Egyptian throne. In Caesar and
Cleopatra, George Bernard Shaw explores the unique dynamic between
two of history's most notable figures. It's a cynical but
entertaining view of the political warfare that ravaged Ancient
Egypt. With his sharp prose, Shaw revitalizes the classic story and
its infamous characters. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Caesar and
Cleopatra is both modern and readable.
