| Summary | "Arachne — Volume 03" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel set during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds amidst themes of love, jealousy, and vengeance, exploring the intertwined lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Ledscha, a passionate and wronged woman who seeks retribution against Hermon, her former lover who has betrayed her in favor of another woman, Althea. The storyline centers around Ledscha's emotional turmoil as she eagerly awaits Hermon under the light of the moon, anticipating a reunion that never happens. As her hopes fade, she encounters Hanno, a pirate, and envisions using him to enact her revenge on Hermon. Tension escalates when Hermon meets Althea, illustrating a complicated love triangle that deeply transforms each character. The novel intricately weaves themes of artistic ambition, the nature of beauty in art, and the consequences of betrayal, culminating in a gripping exploration of the characters' desires and the drastic actions they are willing to take.
