A Thorny Path is a novel written by Georg Ebers. The story is set in Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Seti I. The main character, Ameni, is a young Egyptian who is forced to leave his home after his father is falsely accused of theft. Ameni becomes a scribe in Thebes, where he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Uarda. However, their love is forbidden, as Uarda is the daughter of a high priest. Ameni's life becomes even more complicated when he is accused of a crime he did not commit and is forced to flee Thebes. He embarks on a perilous journey through the desert, encountering bandits and other dangers along the way. Eventually, Ameni is able to clear his name and return to Thebes, where he is reunited with Uarda. A Thorny Path is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt.""Follow him Catch him Stop him --living or dead, bring him back A price is on his head--a splendid price to any one who will take him "" cried the Egyptian, foaming with rage and setting the example. But the youth of the town, many of whom knew the artist, and who were at all times ready to spoil sport for the sycophants and spies, crowded up between the fugitive and his pursuers and barred the way.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
