Summary | "The Story of My Life — Complete" by Georg Ebers is an autobiography written during the late 19th century. It chronicles the author's life from his early childhood in Berlin, through his education and formation as a notable intellectual and scholar. The narrative reveals his deep appreciation for his mother, who played a central role in his upbringing, and the experiences that shaped his later artistic and academic pursuits, including his fascination with Egyptology. The opening of the autobiography introduces the reader to Ebers’s life, marked by the poignant circumstances of his birth as a posthumous child, just days after his father's passing. He reflects fondly on his childhood, describing the nurturing environment created by his mother, who instilled in him a sense of comfort and purpose. Ebers recounts his early experiences, from playing in the gardens of his childhood home to the loving relationship he developed with his family, especially with his mother and siblings. His portrayal of these formative years emphasizes themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of knowledge, setting the groundwork for the exploration of his later academic achievements and personal growth throughout the narrative.
