| Summary | "The Story of My Life — Volume 01 by Georg Ebers" is an autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Georg Ebers from his birth in 1837 until the publication of his novel "An Egyptian Princess" in 1863. It combines the elements of a biography and a historical account, focusing on Ebers's personal experiences, family background, education, and early career, while also reflecting on broader societal changes in Germany during that time. In this first volume, Ebers shares vivid memories of his childhood in Berlin, detailing the influence of his mother, the dynamics of his family life, and his early education. He portrays a rich and colorful picture of his surroundings, from the joys of playing in nature to the significant events like family celebrations and the mourning of his father's death. The narrative touches on themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of knowledge, capturing the essence of growing up in a period marked by significant cultural and political upheaval. As he recounts his youthful adventures, budding interests in literature and art, and encounters with notable figures, Ebers paints a heartfelt portrait of a life driven by curiosity and resilience against the backdrop of a changing world.
