About this ebook
Thebes under Rameses II: a paraschites' granddaughter, a young priest, a princess, and the temple politics of a state where the priesthood outranks the throne. Ebers found the medical papyrus that bears his name and dug in Egypt for years; this 1877 novel made his reputation, and its rituals, titles and streets are drawn from the monuments and papyri he knew as a scholar. Fifty-eight plates of Roman ruins and capriccios, from Panini and Lanfranco to the Colosseum and Forum, echo the monumental world Ebers knew firsthand.

About the author
Georg Ebers was a German Egyptologist and novelist who discovered the medical papyrus that still bears his name — one of the oldest surviving medical texts. Partly paralysed from his forties, he taught at Leipzig and poured his scholarship into historical romances of ancient Egypt that sold across Europe and America, and were credited with teaching a generation what a pharaoh's world looked like.
