"At Aboukir and Acre: A Story of Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the events during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, focusing primarily on the experiences of Edgar Blagrove, a young boy living in Alexandria, and his interactions with the local Arab community, particularly his friendship with Sidi Ben Ouafy. This narrative intertwines personal adventure with the larger historical context of military conflict and the political landscape of the era. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Edgar and Sidi, who engage in an insightful dialogue about the strengths and weaknesses of their respective military forces. Edgar, a British boy of mixed upbringing in Egypt, learns about the tensions surrounding the impending arrival of the French fleet. The opening chapters also establish Edgar's background—his boxing skills, his life in Alexandria, and his father's merchant business—while foreshadowing the dramatic events that will unfold with the expected invasion. The narrative sets the stage for Edgar's transformation from a sheltered life to one filled with danger and adventure as the stakes rise with the French military's approach.
