Produktbeschreibung
Georg Ebers' novel 'A Question' is a thought-provoking exploration of love, fate, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt. Ebers' elegant and descriptive prose transports the reader to a time where belief in gods and the power of destiny held sway over daily life. The novel seamlessly weaves together historical accuracy with captivating storytelling, making it a compelling read for those interested in both the ancient world and philosophical questions about the nature of human existence. The characters are richly developed, and their struggles and triumphs resonate with universal themes that continue to be relevant today. Georg Ebers, a German Egyptologist and novelist, drew on his extensive knowledge of ancient Egyptian history and culture to create 'A Question'. His passion for the subject matter shines through in the meticulous attention to detail and authenticity present throughout the novel. Ebers' background as a scholar lends depth and credibility to the narrative, enriching the reader's understanding of the historical context in which the story unfolds. I highly recommend 'A Question' to readers who enjoy historical fiction with a philosophical edge. Ebers' masterful blending of historical fact and fiction creates a compelling and thought-provoking tale that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.
Autorenporträt
Georg Moritz Ebers was a German Egyptologist and author who was born in Berlin on March 1, 1837, and died in Tutzing, Bavaria, on August 7, 1898. He bought the Ebers Papyrus, which is one of the oldest medical records from Egypt and is what made him famous. Georg Ebers was born in Berlin. He was the fifth child in a wealthy family of bankers and someone who made ceramics. After their father killed himself soon after Ebers was born, the children were raised by their mother alone. Smart people like Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, the Grimm Brothers, and Alexander von Humboldt liked going to the club that his mother ran. Ebers studied law in Gottingen and Oriental languages and history in Berlin. Egyptology was something he studied in depth, so in 1865 he was made Dozent in Egyptian language and antiquities at Jena. In 1868 he was made professor. In 1870, he was hired as a professor at Leipzig to teach these topics. He went to Egypt twice for research reasons. His first important work, Ägypten und die Bücher Moses, came out in 1867 and 1868. In 1874, he edited the famous medical tablet called tablet Ebers, which he had found in Thebes (H. Joachim, 1890).
