Overview
In The Fire Of The Forge is a historical fiction novel written by Georg Ebers. The story is set in ancient Egypt and follows the life of a young man named Hiram, who is the son of a copper-smith. Hiram is determined to follow in his father's footsteps and become a skilled craftsman, but his dreams are shattered when he is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Hiram's journey takes him from Egypt to Babylon, where he is forced to work as a slave in the city's famous Hanging Gardens. Despite the difficult conditions, Hiram remains determined to escape and return to his homeland. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a beautiful Babylonian princess named Rhodopis, who becomes his ally and helps him in his quest for freedom. As Hiram struggles to survive and find his way back home, he also becomes involved in the political intrigue and power struggles of ancient Babylon. He must navigate dangerous alliances and betrayals, all while trying to keep his true identity a secret. In The Fire Of The Forge is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Ebers' vivid descriptions of ancient Babylon and Egypt bring the story to life, and his characters are complex and engaging. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction, adventure, and stories of triumph over adversity.Her heart shrank from the thought that, merely from vain pleasure in having a throng of admirers, she had given this scoundrel more than one glance of encouragement. The riding whip fairly quivered in her right hand as, after informing Ernst Ortlieb where Els had gone, she warned the gentlemen that it was time to depart, and Seitz Siebenburg submissively, yet as familiarly as if he had a right to her special favour, held out his hand in farewell.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
