      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.

    • "By the walls of Thebes-the old city of a hundred gates-the Nile spreads to a broad river; the heights, which follow the stream on both sides, here take a more decided outline; solitary, almost cone-shaped peaks stand out sharply from the level background of the many-colored. limestone hills, on which no palm-tree flourishes and in which no humble desert-plant can strike root. Rocky crevasses and gorges cut more or less deeply into the mountain range, and up to its ridge extends the desert, destructive of all life, with sand and stones, with rocky cliffs and reef-like, desert hills. Behind the eastern range the desert spreads to the Red Sea; behind the western it stretches without limit, into infinity. In the belief of the Egyptians beyond it lay the region of the dead. Between these two ranges of hills, which serve as walls or ramparts to keep back the desert-sand, flows the fresh and bounteous Nile, bestowing blessing and abundance; at once the father and the cradle of millions of beings."

    • Dieses eBook ist mit einem detaillierten und dynamischen Inhaltsverzeichnis versehen und wurde sorgfältig korrekturgelesen. Georg Ebers (1837-1898) war ein deutscher Ägyptologe und Schriftsteller, der mit seinen historischen Romanen und populärwissenschaftlichen Büchern zur großen Popularität der Ägyptologie im 19. Jahrhundert beitrug. Sein Werk „Eine ägyptische Königstochter“ (1864) markiert den Beginn einer Reihe von historischen Romanen, die auf großes Leserinteresse stießen. Ebers gilt neben Felix Dahn als bedeutendster Vertreter des „Professorenromans“. Die Themen seiner Romane entnahm er teilweise seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit zur ägyptischen Geschichte sowie anderen Epochen, wie dem Mittelalter. Aus dem Buch: „Wie Hagelschlag in ein blühendes Saatfeld war die Schmährede des Schlemmers in die Freude der Scheidenden gefallen; Rhodopis selbst stand bleich und zitternd in dem verödeten festlich geschmückten Zimmer. Knakias verlöschte die bunten Lampen an den Wänden. Statt des hellen Lichtes trat ein unheimliches Halbdunkel ein, welches das zusammengeworfene Tafelgeschirr, die Überreste der Mahlzeit und die von ihren Plätzen gerückten Ruhebänke spärlich beleuchtete. Durch die offene Tür zog eine kalte Luft, denn es begann Morgen zu werden, und die Zeit vor dem Sonnenaufgang pflegt in Ägypten empfindlich kühl zu sein. Die Glieder der leicht gekleideten Greisin durchschauerte leiser Frost. Tränenlos starrte sie in den öde

      Die Trilogie „Uarda 1-3“ von Georg Ebers entführt die Leser in das alte Ägypten zur Zeit der Pharaonen und beleuchtet das Leben und die Kultur dieser faszinierenden Epoche. Die Geschichte folgt der Hauptfigur Uarda, einer schönen und intelligenten Priesterin, die in den politischen Intrigen und sozialen Umwälzungen ihrer Zeit gefangen ist. Die Erzählung thematisiert die Herausforderungen und Konflikte, mit denen Uarda konfrontiert wird, einschließlich ihrer Liebe zu einem ägyptischen Prinzen und den Spannungen zwischen verschiedenen Glaubensrichtungen und politischen Fraktionen. Die Bände bieten einen detaillierten Einblick in die ägyptische Mythologie, die Rolle der Religion im Alltag sowie die sozialen Strukturen und Traditionen der damaligen Gesellschaft. Zentrale Charaktere sind neben Uarda der Prinz und verschiedene Priester, die unterschiedliche Aspekte der ägyptischen Kultur repräsentieren. Ebers gelingt es, historische Fakten mit fiktiven Elementen zu verbinden, um ein lebendiges Bild der damaligen Welt zu zeichnen. Die Trilogie ist nicht nur eine Erzählung über persönliche Schicksale, sondern auch eine Reflexion über die Werte und Überzeugungen, die das Leben im alten Ägypten prägten.
