Fairly easy to read. This eBook was produced by David Widger "Homo Sum — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a vivid representation of early Christian society, exploring deep themes of faith, personal struggle, love, and forgiveness. The narrative revolves around characters such as Stephanus and his son Hermas, as well as Paulus, an anchorite who grapples with his past and the trials of his companions. As they confront their inner conflicts and the challenges of their time, they seek a path toward redemption and a deeper understanding of themselves and their beliefs. The opening of the novel introduces us to Stephanus, a sick man contemplatively reflecting on his life and the outcomes of his choices regarding his son Hermas. As he confides in Paulus, they engage in a profound discussion about the essence of egotism, memory, and the guiding principles of their faith. Simultaneously, we are introduced to Sirona, a young woman caught in the turbulence of her own incomplete aspirations and the complexities of her marriage to the centurion Phoebicius. As relationships develop, the atmosphere becomes charged with unfulfilled desires, highlighted by Hermas's innocent admiration for Sirona and Miriam's tumultuous emotions towards both Hermas and her unworthy rival. This intricate web of characters and themes sets the stage for a journey of spiritual awakening and human connection.
