Research into Egypt, which he visited many times, inspired him both to scientific works and to the creation of exciting works of art.

The novel "Pharaoh's Daughter", which opens this edition, is Ebers' debut work, which marked the beginning of his literary career. The events unfold during the reign of Pharaoh Amasis II, 528 years before the birth of Christ, and take the reader to the mysterious world of Ancient Egypt and Persia.

Her journey to Babylon becomes the catalyst for a series of events full of intrigue, unexpected turns, and passions. With incredible authenticity and skill, Ebers recreates the life, culture and political intrigues of ancient civilizations, immersing the reader in an era where history and fiction are intertwined into a single whole.
