Fairly easy to read. Produced by David Widger "A Thorny Path - Complete" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of ancient Alexandria, the narrative introduces the lives of Heron, a gem-cutter, his children Melissa and Alexander, and their struggles with grief, artistic aspirations, and the passage of time. The book explores the emotional landscape of these characters, particularly the profound impact of loss and the pursuit of beauty through art. The opening portion follows the dynamics within Heron's studio, where Melissa aids her father while yearning for a more vibrant life. Heron's gruff demeanor contrasts with Alexander's more optimistic and artistic disposition. The family grapples with the absence of their deceased matriarch, and the themes of grief and longing are interwoven as they navigate relationships and their artistic endeavors. Alexander's connection with a deceased girl named Korinna becomes a pivotal point, leading to his brother Philip's emotional turmoil. As the narrative unfolds, familial bonds, artistic passion, and the transcendent quest for beauty in life and death take center stage, setting the stage for an intricate exploration of human experience.
