Georg Ebers

    1 mars 1837 – 7 août 1898

    Georg Moritz Ebers fut un égyptologue et romancier allemand qui connut le succès en popularisant le savoir de l'Égypte ancienne par le biais de romans historiques. Ses œuvres, en particulier celles se déroulant dans l'Égypte ancienne, furent acclamées et jouèrent un rôle important dans la familiarisation du public avec les découvertes des égyptologues. L'approche d'Ebers consistait à faire revivre le passé par des récits captivants, alliant intérêt scientifique et art littéraire. Bien qu'il ait exploré d'autres périodes historiques, ses romans à thème égyptien connurent la plus grande réception et reconnaissance.

      The morning twilight had dawned into day, and the sun had risen on the first of December of the year of our Lord 129, but was still veiled by milk-white mists which rose from the sea, and it was cold.Kasius, a mountain of moderate elevation, stands on a tongue of land that projects from the coast between the south of Palestine and Egypt. It is washed on the north by the sea which, on this day, is not gleaming, as is its wont, in translucent ultramarine; its more distant depths slowly surge in blue-black waves, while those nearer to shore are of quite a different hue, and meet their sisters that lie nearer to the horizon in a dull greenish-grey, as dusty plains join darker lava beds. The northeasterly wind, which had risen as the sun rose, now blew more keenly, wreaths of white foam rode on the crests of the waves, though these did not beat wildly and stormily on the mountain-foot, but rolled heavily to the shore in humped ridges, endlessly long, as if they were of molten lead. Still the clear bright spray splashed up when the gulls dipped their pinions in the water as they floated above it, hither and thither, restless and uttering shrill little cries, as though driven by terror.

    • Book ExcerptLedscha disdainfully; but he repeated with firm decision: "Yes, used! What could you learn of life, of art and artists, here in the weaver's nest in the midst of the waves? I know them. A sculptor needs beautiful women as a cobbler wants leather, and the charms he seeks in you he does not conceal from his friend Myrtilus, at least. They are your large almond-shaped eyes and your arms. They make him fairly wild with delight by their curves when, in drawing water, you hold the jug balanced on your head. Your slender arched foot, too, is a welcome morsel to him."The darkness prevented Bias from seeing Ledscha's features, but it was easy to perceive what was passing in her mind as, hoarse with indignation, she gasped: "How can I know the object of your accusations? but fie upon the servant who would alienate from his own kind master what his soul desires!"Then Bias changed not only his tone of voice, but his language, and, deeply offended, poured forth a torrent of wrath in the dialect of his peo

    • Hosea is a commander in Pharaoh's army... and a Hebrew. After returning home from war, he finds the remains of a great pestilence in Egypt during his absence and the Hebrew people are being blamed. Reluctant to give up his position in the army, Hosea receives a message from his father to leave Egypt and follow his people to Succoth. He then receives another message containing a new name for him. A name given by God - "Joshua". This is a fictionalized account of the life of the Hebrews in Egypt during the times of Moses and the Exodus to the Promised Land for the Israelites. It significantly expands on the original narrative from the Old Testament scriptures, adding a captivating storyline with love and intrigue among the Hebrews and in the court of the Pharaoh.

    • Ebers early conceived the idea of popularizing Egyptian lore by means of historical romances. Eine agyptische Konigstochter was published in 1864 and obtained great success. His subsequent works of the same kind-Uarda (1877), Homo sum (1878), Die Schwestern (1880), Der Kaiser (1881), of which the scene is laid in Egypt at the time of Hadrian, Serapis (1885), Die Nilbraut (1887), and Kleopatra (1894), were also well received, and did much to make the public familiar with the discoveries of Egyptologists. Ebers also turned his attention to other fields of historical fiction-especially the 16th century (Die Frau Burgermeisterin, 1882; Die Gred, 1887)-without, however, attaining the success of his Egyptian novels."
