Georg Ebers

    1. marec 1837 – 7. august 1898

    Georg Moritz Ebers bol nemecký egyptológ a románopisec, ktorý sa preslávil popularizáciou egyptského staroveku prostredníctvom historických románov. Jeho diela, najmä tie zasadené do starovekého Egypta, boli veľmi úspešné a významne prispeli k tomu, že sa verejnosť zoznámila s objavmi egyptológov. Ebersov štýl spočíval v oživovaní minulosti prostredníctvom pútavých príbehov, čím spojil vedecký záujem s literárnym umením. Hoci sa venoval aj iným historickým obdobiam, jeho egyptské romány si získali najväčší ohlas.

      Román o strastiplných osudech egyptské princezny v perské říši se opírá o reálné události, které před dvěma a půl tisíci lety tvořily doslova dějiny celého světa. V relativně krátkém časovém úseku se tehdy odehrály závratné změny: střetly se největší osobnosti starověku, posunuly se hranice světových impérií, došlo ke střídání korunovaných hlav na nejmocnějších trůnech. Bez dechu sledujeme osudy faraonů 26. dynastie, kdy se říše dostala do područí peršanů. Perská říše musí krutým násilím udržovat pořádek v podrobených provinciích, ale přitom sama dychtivě vyhledává nové a nové výboje. A uprostřed všech krvavých událostí se rozvíjí křehký příběh mladičké kraálovské dcery. Pyramidy poodhalují svoje tajemství...

    • Der Verfasser beleuchtet die zeitlose und romantische Liebe von Antonius und Kleopatra, die auch die Kunst inspiriert hat. Besonders Kleopatras Leben ist von einer märchenhaften Romantik umgeben. Ihre Beziehung zeigt, dass sentimentale Liebe auch im antiken Rom präsent war.

    • Děj románu je situován do období vlády Ramesse II. Velikého, kdy Egyptská říše nabyla největšího rozsahu. Sledujeme tu nejen boj o moc, život a intriky kněží či udatnost faraonových vojáků, ale především jsme svědky osudů dvou faraonových dětí, princezny Bent-Anat a prince Rameriho.

    • Historický roman ze starovekeho Egypta. Profesor egyptologie v Lipsku Georg Moritz Ebers napsal řadu děl s egyptskou tématikou, mezi nimiž vyniká Egyptská princezna (1864), která byla přeložena i do češtiny (nověji pod názvem Nitetis: Královská dcera) a stala se povinnou součástí knihoven romanticky založených žen. Román je zajímavý postavou Rhodopis. V díle se vedle sebe vyskytují historické osobnosti (Sapfó, Pythagorás, Milo, Ezop...) a postavy smyšlené. Kolorit se opírá o historická fakta, avšak samotná zápletka je plodem autorovy fantazie. Ebers čerpá také hodně z legend a mýtů, které byly pro romantiky nepřebernou studnicí motivů.

      Egyptská princezna
    • "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."

      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.

      The Bride of the Nile, Vol. 10
    • 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
