| Summary | "Mary Magdalen: A Chronicle" by Edgar Saltus is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the backdrop of ancient Israel, the book primarily focuses on the life of Mary Magdalen and her interactions with significant figures of the time, including Herod Antipas and John the Baptist, exploring themes of faith, love, and redemption amidst the socio-political turmoil of the era. The opening of the novel immerses the reader into a vibrant setting, starting with a lively scene at a circus where chariot races occur. Various characters are introduced, notably Herod Antipas, who, despite his lavish surroundings and power, grapples with insecurities and political complications. The narrative shifts between the spectacle of the races and the internal thoughts of Antipas, revealing his fixation on power and juxtaposing it against the rising presence of John the Baptist, who speaks of a coming kingdom and a transformative prophecy. Mary herself is subtly portrayed, with early hints of her significance and connection to broader spiritual themes that will continue to unfold as the story progresses.
