Georg Ebers

"Uarda: A Romance of Ancient Egypt" is a historical novel written by Georg Ebers. Set in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Seti I (1294-1279 BCE), the book follows the story of a young girl named Uarda, who is born into a family of priests in the city of Thebes. As Uarda grows up, she becomes friends with a young prince named Pentaur, who is also her neighbor. The two share a deep bond and eventually fall in love, but their relationship is forbidden by the strict social and cultural norms of ancient Egyptian society. The novel is filled with vivid descriptions of ancient Egyptian life and culture, including religious practices, architecture, and hieroglyphics. Ebers drew on his extensive knowledge of ancient Egypt to create a highly detailed and realistic portrait of the time period. At its heart, "Uarda" is a love story that explores themes of class, tradition, and societal expectations. It also touches on broader issues such as the struggle for power and the tension between tradition and innovation.

Georg Moritz Ebers (1837 -1898), was a German Egyptologist and novelist, discovered the Egyptian medical papyrus, of ca. 1550 BCE, named for him (see Ebers Papyrus) at Luxor (Thebes) in the winter of 1873-74. Ebers early conceived the idea of popularizing Egyptian lore by means of historical romances. Eine gyptische K nigstochter 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.
