A Question is a novel by Georg Ebers, originally published in German in 1872. The story takes place in ancient Egypt and follows the life of the protagonist, Hatasu, a young woman who is the daughter of a high priest. Hatasu is in love with her cousin, Rames, but their love is forbidden by their families. When Hatasu's father dies, she becomes the high priestess and must choose between her duty to the gods and her love for Rames. Along the way, she faces many challenges, including political intrigue and betrayal, and must ultimately decide what is most important to her. The novel is a romantic and historical tale that offers insight into the culture and customs of ancient Egypt.To try your luck with Xanthe? I tell you, it's trouble wasted, for she's dressing her hair to receive our guest from Messina; and, if she were standing where those cabbage-leaves be, she wouldn't contradict me if I were to repeat what you heard from my lips this morning at sunrise. Our girl will never become Phaon's wife until I myself offer a sacrifice to Aphrodite, that she may fill Xanthe's heart with love for him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
