| Summary | "Homo Sum: Roman" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores themes surrounding human experiences and the depth of character as it delves into the life of its central figures, with particular focus on the young Anachoreet, Hermas. As the story unfolds, it promises insights into the psychological struggles of individuals adapting to their circumstances, along with reflections on faith and personal identity. The opening of the novel introduces us to a stark and desolate landscape at the foot of a mountainous region, where a group of Anachoretes live, embracing solitude and penance away from society. We meet Hermas, a young man grappling with inner turmoil and frustration stemming from his sheltered life and strong desires for freedom and connection. As he interacts with a young shepherdess named Mirjam, their playful yet intense exchanges reveal his struggles with societal expectations, identity, and his quest for meaning. This initial interaction sets the stage for Hermas's journey of self-discovery and the conflicts he faces between the life of asceticism he is expected to uphold and his longing for more vibrant human experiences.
