    About this ebook

    Joshua is a fictionalized narrative of the life of Hosea/Joshua based on the biblical account of Moses and the Pharaoh of the Exodus. The author of this work Georg Moritz Ebers (1837 – 1898), was a German Egyptologist and novelist. He is famous for his purchase of the Ebers Papyrus, one of the most ancient Egyptian medical documents globally. With the help of the mental and external experiences of the characters, whose acts Ebers has freely guided through his imagination, he has attempted to bring closer to the reader the human side of the fate of the nation, which was necessary for him to describe.

    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)
