Only A Word (1883)

""Only A Word"" is a novel written by German author Georg Ebers and first published in 1883. The story is set in ancient Egypt and revolves around the lives of two main characters, a high priest named Ameni and a young girl named Uarda. Ameni is a powerful figure in the court of Pharaoh Seti I, and he is deeply committed to preserving the traditions and beliefs of ancient Egyptian religion. Uarda, on the other hand, is a simple peasant girl who is orphaned at a young age and taken in by a kind family. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, Ameni and Uarda's paths cross when Uarda becomes involved in a plot to overthrow Seti I and Ameni is tasked with stopping it. As the two characters navigate their way through the complex political and social landscape of ancient Egypt, they must confront their own personal demons and learn to trust each other in order to save their beloved country from destruction. ""Only A Word"" is a richly detailed and vividly imagined historical novel that explores themes of power, loyalty, and the human capacity for change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
