"Homo Sum — Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative takes place in the early decades of Christianity, focusing on themes of spirituality, penance, and the struggles of the human soul through the experiences of its main character, Hermas, a young anchorite grappling with his identity and purpose. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of the Sinai mountains, where Hermas lives alongside other solitary figures, including his father, Stephanus. The story unfolds with Hermas's interactions with Miriam, a shepherdess whose spirit and defiance ignite emotions in him, leading to a conflict between his hermit life and burgeoning desires for the outside world. As the opening progresses, we glimpse the tensions between the anchorites' ascetic lifestyle and Hermas's yearning for connection, action, and ultimately, a more engaged life as he contemplates stepping away from the isolation that has defined his existence. The emotional turmoil and the exploration of faith, identity, and the human condition set the stage for a deeper examination of what it means to be truly human.
