(Mary Joanna) 1842 1916 Safford, Mary Joanna Joshua — Volume 1 This eBook was produced by David Widger "Joshua — Volume 1" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work blends fiction with biblical events, exploring the journey and trials of the Israelites as they escape enslavement in Egypt under the leadership of Moses. The narrative intricately portrays both the perspectives of the Hebrews and the Egyptians, focusing on key characters like Hosea, who is later named Joshua, and his family and companions as they navigate the challenges of their intertwined destinies. The opening of the novel sets a dramatic and foreboding atmosphere, capturing a scene of chaos and despair as the characters grapple with the horrors of a plague ravaging Tanis. The story begins with an old astrologer and his grandson witnessing the supernatural upheaval related to the impending Exodus. As the fear of death looms, the astrologer receives devastating news of his family's losses, intertwining personal grief with the broader plight of the Egyptians as they confront the consequences of the Hebrew exodus. The initial chapters introduce a rich tapestry of emotions, political intrigue, and the human cost of the unfolding biblical narrative, laying a foundation for the epic tale that follows.
