Autorenportrait
Georg Moritz Ebers, born on March 1, 1837, in Berlin, and passing on August 7, 1898, was a notable German Egyptologist and novelist. Ebers pursued an academic career, initially studying jurisprudence at Göttingen, before dedicating himself to the rich treasures of Egyptian antiquity, a field in which he excelled (New International Encyclopedia, 1905). His pivotal work, 'Uebersetzung der Hieroglyphen' ('Translation of Hieroglyphs'), underscored his credentials as a scholar of ancient languages and civilizations. However, Ebers' enduring legacy rests on his remarkable ability to breathe life into the ancient world through his historical novels. His literary oeuvre includes such works as 'Eine ägyptische Königstochter' ('An Egyptian Princess') and 'Uarda,' which exhibit his impressive knack for weaving historical fidelity with narrative vivacity, foreshadowing the genre of historical fiction as we know it today (Ebers, G., Historical Romances). His gift for narrative was further complemented by his 'Quotations from Georg Ebers', a collection that showcased both his intellectual acumen and his depth of character, allowing a broader audience to appreciate the spirit of his works. Ebers, as an author, stood at the crossroads of scholarly pursuit and literary craft, his style characterized by diligent research and a compelling evocation of the ancient times he so loved.
