책소개

『Cleopatra』(클레오파트라)는 H. 라이더 해거드(Henry Rider Haggard)가 1889년에 출간한 역사 판타지 소설로, 고대 이집트 프톨레마이오스 시대를 배경으로 한다. 이야기는 이집트 사제 하르마키스(Harmachis)의 1인칭 시점으로 진행되며, 그는 이시스(Isis) 사제단에 의해 보호받는 파라오 혈통의 마지막 후계자이다. 하르마키스는 사제단의 명령으로 '가짜'로 여겨지는 클레오파트라를 타도하고, 그리스와 로마인을 몰아내어 이집트를 황금 시대로 되돌리려 한다. 그러나 그는 클레오파트라의 매력에 빠져 임무를 배신하고, 결국 사랑과 복수, 몰락의 비극적 운명에 휘말린다.

이 소설은 해거드의 모험적 서사와 초자연적 요소가 결합된 작품으로, 성경 언어로 쓰인 파피루스 두루마리 형식으로 독특한 매력을 더한다. 클레오파트라의 지혜, 배신, 압도적 존재감이 생생히 묘사되며, 기원전 51~30년 프톨레마이오스 왕조의 몰락과 역사적 사건을 기반으로 한 상상력이 돋보인다. 독자는 이 책을 통해 고대 이집트의 신비와 인간의 욕망, 운명의 갈등을 탐구할 수 있으며, 해거드의 대표작(King Solomon's Mines, She)을 즐긴 독자들이라면 그의 이국적이고 극적인 스토리텔링을 또 한 번 만끽할 이유가 된다. 역사 판타지와 모험 소설 팬에게 강력 추천한다.
