Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Moon of Israel: A Tale of the Exodus" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the time of the ancient Egyptians and the Israelites, focusing on the journey of Scribe Ana, who intimately narrates the trials and experiences surrounding the Exodus. The book likely delves into themes of oppression, faith, and destiny, set against the backdrop of the dynamic relationship between the enslaved Israelites and their Egyptian rulers. The opening of "Moon of Israel" introduces Scribe Ana, who reflects on his life in ancient Egypt and the significant events that he will recount. He describes his humble beginnings, his family life, and his aspirations to be more than just a copywriter of sacred texts. As he prepares to visit Tanis, the city of Pharaoh, Ana reveals the political and social tensions brewing between the Egyptians and the Israelites, notably highlighting the character of Merapi, the "Moon of Israel." The narrative sets the stage for the escalating conflict between the two peoples, with Scribe Ana caught in the unfolding drama that will influence his life and the fate of his people.
