"Cleopatra" is a historical novel by the German Egyptologist and writer Georg Ebers, published in the late 19th century. Ebers, renowned for his knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture and history, paints a vivid portrait of the legendary Queen Cleopatra. The novel delves into her relationships, particularly with the Roman leaders Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and showcases the political and personal struggles she faced as one of history's most iconic rulers. Ebers intertwines accurate historical facts with fictional details, providing readers with an immersive glimpse into ancient Egypt and Rome.
Georg Ebers
Georg Moritz Ebers (Berlin, March 1, 1837 – Tutzing, Bavaria, August 7, 1898), 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. Now in the Library of the University of Leipzig, the Ebers Papyrus is among the most important ancient Egyptian medical papyri. It is one of two of the oldest preserved medical documents anywhere—the other being the Edwin Smith Papyrus (ca. 1600 BCE).Ebers early conceived the idea of popularising Egyptian lore by means of historical romances. Many of his books have been translated into English. For his life, see his "The Story of My Life" — "Die Geschichte meines Lebens". (Wikipedia)
