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.

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
