Project Gutenberg 2020-02-20 Public domain in the USA. 102 Ebers, Georg 1837 1898 Ebers, Georg Moritz Ebers, George Moritz Säilä, J. 1851 1911 Judén, J. Juden, J. Judén, Jebets Jesiel Judi Saila, J. Josua Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Josua" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in ancient Egypt and revolves around the characters of an aged prophet and his grandson, Efraim, as they encounter ominous signs in the night sky and face the local turmoil brought on by plagues and their socio-political implications. The novel intricately combines elements of suspense, familial ties, and the supernatural against a backdrop of myth and historical conflict. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to a scene filled with tension and foreboding as the elderly prophet and Efraim stand on a temple tower overlooking their city of Tanis. They observe strange occurrences and hear cries of despair echoing from the population below, which indicates a significant calamity—presumably linked to an impending conflict with the Israelites. As they grapple with their fears and the implications of these events, the interaction between the old man and the young priest captures a sense of urgency and dread. The opening sets a dramatic tone that hints at the unfolding struggles not only in their lives but also within the wider societal unrest in Egypt. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
